KAN-therm Kolano 45° PP 40 mm elbow for plastic piping, model 04104340

KAN-therm Kolano 45° PP 40 mm elbow for plastic piping, model 04104340 is a polypropylene (PP) 45-degree pipe fitting with a nominal diameter of 40 mm designed to change flow direction in plastic plumbing and heating systems. The elbow provides a compact connection between two PP pipes and is intended for systems where chemical resistance, low weight and ease of assembly are required. It is compatible with standard PP piping of the same diameter and is used wherever a 45° deviation is needed to adapt routing or avoid obstacles.

Advantages

The fitting is made from polypropylene, providing resistance to corrosion and many common chemicals encountered in heating and plumbing circuits. Its 45° angle allows smoother directional changes than a sharp 90° turn, reducing pressure losses and supporting more efficient flow. The component is lightweight and dimensionally stable, simplifying handling and installation on site. Designed for integration with PP pipework, it offers consistent material compatibility and predictable thermal behaviour.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial plumbing systems using PP pipes
• Heating circuits where a 45° directional change is required
• Routing around structural obstacles in piping installations
• Renovation and new-build projects with plastic piping

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Angle: 45°
• Nominal diameter: 40 mm
• Application: plastic plumbing and heating piping
• Characteristic: corrosion-resistant and lightweight

How to use

Prepare pipe ends according to the chosen joining method for PP components (e.g., socket welding, mechanical coupling or adhesive as applicable for the system). Ensure pipes are cut squarely, deburred, and cleaned before assembly. Insert pipe ends into the elbow to the specified depth and complete the joint following the installation practice for the system (heating, cooling or water distribution). Allow required cure or cooling times if a thermal welding method is used and verify alignment and tightness once assembled.

Usage recommendations

Use the elbow only with compatible PP piping and connectors, observe the manufacturer's installation guidelines for thermal or mechanical joining methods, and consider system pressure and temperature limits when selecting fittings. Inspect assembled joints for proper seating and leak tightness before putting the system into service.
