KAN-therm elbow PP male thread 20 x 1/2" model 04104520

The KAN-therm elbow PP male thread 20 x 1/2" model 04104520 is a 90° polypropylene (PP) fitting designed to connect 20 mm PP piping to 1/2" male-threaded components. It provides a compact angled transition between plastic pipe systems and threaded valves, fixtures or adapters, making it suitable for domestic and light commercial plumbing and heating installations where a right-angle change of direction and a secure threaded connection are required.

Advantages

This polypropylene elbow offers chemical resistance, low thermal conductivity and corrosion-free performance typical of PP fittings. Its integrated male thread simplifies installation to threaded valves and accessories without the need for additional adapters. The 90° geometry reduces installation space compared with long-run fittings and supports reliable sealing when used with appropriate thread tape or sealant.

Suitable for

• Connecting 20 mm PP piping to 1/2" threaded valves and fixtures
• Right-angle transitions in domestic hot and cold water systems
• Compact plumbing installations in kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms
• Light commercial heating and plumbing applications

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Connection 1: socket for 20 mm PP pipe
• Connection 2: male thread 1/2" (BSP-compatible male thread form)
• Angle: 90° elbow
• Typical applications: potable water, heating circuits, general plumbing

How to use

Prepare the PP pipe end by cutting square and deburring. Insert the pipe into the PP socket and join using the appropriate KAN-therm joining method for PP fittings (e.g., socket fusion or the specified system technique). When connecting the male thread to a mating female threaded fitting, apply an appropriate thread sealant such as PTFE tape or liquid sealant compatible with plumbing systems, then tighten to the required torque without over-stressing the plastic threads. Verify alignment and test the assembled section under pressure according to applicable installation standards.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible PP joining tools and follow manufacturer instructions for fusion or mechanical joining. Avoid excessive tightening of threaded connections to prevent deformation. Verify that operating temperatures and media are within the allowable range for polypropylene components before installation.
