KAN-therm pipe elbow 90mm 45° KAN-therm 04104390 polypropylene (PP)

The KAN-therm pipe elbow 90mm 45° is a polypropylene (PP) fitting designed to change the direction of compatible PP piping by 45 degrees. Intended for plumbing and HVAC applications, this compact elbow supports water distribution, heating circuits and drainage installations where a gradual angular connection is required. Its polypropylene construction offers chemical resistance, corrosion-free operation and reduced weight to simplify handling and positioning during installation.

Advantages

The PP material provides good resistance to many common chemicals and does not corrode, ensuring long-term dimensional stability in wet environments. Lightweight construction reduces installer fatigue and makes alignment and joining easier. The 45° geometry enables smoother flow transitions than sharper angles, which can be beneficial for systems requiring reduced hydraulic losses. The fitting is compatible with standard PP piping systems, allowing straightforward integration into existing polypropylene installations.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution systems using PP pipes
• Heating circuits and underfloor heating manifolds where angular redirection is needed
• Drainage and wastewater lines compatible with polypropylene fittings
• Tight or compact installation spaces requiring a 45° change of direction

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP) for corrosion resistance and chemical stability
• Nominal diameter: 90 mm suitable for medium-scale piping runs
• Angle: 45° designed for gradual redirection of flow
• Application: compatible with PP piping in heating, water distribution and drainage systems
• Design: compact elbow geometry for space-efficient installations

How to use

Select the elbow that matches the internal diameter of the existing PP piping and prepare pipe ends according to the joining method recommended for the system (for example, thermal fusion, socket fusion, or solvent welding if applicable to the specific PP system). Ensure pipe ends are cut square, clean and free of debris. Position the elbow to achieve the required 45° change in direction, then complete the joint following the polypropylene pipe system manufacturer's instructions and local plumbing codes. Allow any fusion or adhesive joints to cool and cure fully before restoring system pressure.

Usage recommendations

Confirm compatibility of joining methods and PP material grade with the overall piping system. Avoid exposure to UV light for prolonged periods and follow recommended maximum operating temperature and pressure limits for polypropylene systems. When used in heating installations, verify that system design accounts for thermal expansion and supports fittings accordingly.
