KAN-therm pipe elbow 45° 75 mm, PP plumbing fitting, model 04104375

The KAN-therm pipe elbow 45° 75 mm is a polypropylene (PP) plumbing fitting designed to change flow direction in piping systems by 45 degrees. Intended for use with PP pipes of the same nominal diameter, this elbow provides a compact and low-resistance turn suitable for potable water installations, heating circuits and drainage applications where PP components are specified. The fitting offers chemical resistance typical of PP materials and a smooth internal surface to minimise pressure loss and reduce sediment build-up.

Advantages

This 45° elbow is made of polypropylene, giving it good corrosion and chemical resistance while remaining lightweight. Its nominal 75 mm diameter matches standard PP piping to ensure a secure connection and consistent flow profile. The smooth internal bore helps maintain hydraulic efficiency and reduces maintenance needs. The compact 45-degree angle enables space-saving routing in confined installations and allows easier alignment compared with more acute directional fittings.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water supply systems using PP pipework
• Heating systems and radiator connections with compatible PP piping
• Drainage and sewage lines where polypropylene fittings are specified
• Plumbing routes requiring a compact 45° change of direction

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Angle: 45 degrees
• Nominal diameter: 75 mm
• Connection: designed for matching-diameter PP pipe connections
• Application: potable water, heating circuits, drainage

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends by cutting square and deburring to ensure full contact with the fitting. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended joining method for PP fittings—commonly solvent welding, fusion welding or mechanical coupling depending on the system design—and allow any required curing or cooling time before pressurising the line. Ensure alignment at the required 45° orientation and verify the joint integrity with appropriate pressure testing procedures for the installed system.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible PP pipes and approved joining techniques for durable, leak-free connections. Avoid using in applications with unsupported temperatures or chemicals outside polypropylene’s performance range. During installation, follow local plumbing and heating codes and perform pressure tests according to system requirements.
