KAN-therm elbow 45° PP 50 mm model 04104350 for plastic piping connections

The KAN-therm elbow 45° PP 50 mm model 04104350 is a polypropylene (PP) pipe fitting designed to change the direction of fluid flow by 45 degrees in plastic piping systems. Intended for use with compatible 50 mm PP pipes and fittings, this elbow provides a smooth, angled transition that reduces turbulence compared with sharper bends. It is suitable for plumbing, heating and drainage installations where a gradual redirection is preferred to maintain system efficiency and avoid stress on joints.

Advantages

This 45° elbow is made from polypropylene, offering chemical resistance, low weight and thermal stability for typical building system temperatures. Its 50 mm nominal diameter matches standard PP pipe dimensions to ensure a consistent internal flow profile. The angled design helps reduce hydraulic losses and minimizes the formation of sediment pockets compared with 90° turns. The fitting is compatible with common installation methods for plastic piping, allowing straightforward integration into existing systems.

Suitable for

• Plumbing systems requiring a 45° directional change
• Heating circuits and distribution manifolds with 50 mm PP piping
• Drainage and wastewater routes where reduced turbulence is needed
• Retrofit and new-build installations using polypropylene pipework

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Angle: 45°
• Nominal diameter: 50 mm
• Application: fluid direction change in plastic piping systems
• Compatibility: designed for use with 50 mm PP pipes and fittings

How to use

Ensure pipes and fittings are clean and free of debris before assembly. Align the 50 mm PP pipes with the elbow ends and use the appropriate joining method for the specific PP system in use (for example, thermal welding, socket fusion or recommended mechanical couplers) following manufacturer installation procedures. After joining, verify alignment and allow any required cooling or curing time before introducing pressure or fluid into the system. Perform a pressure or leak test according to local regulations and system design parameters.

Usage recommendations

Use this 45° PP elbow where a smoother directional change is required to reduce flow resistance and limit stress on adjoining fittings. Select the appropriate joining technique compatible with polypropylene materials and the installer’s certification level; follow applicable standards for pressure testing and system commissioning.
