KAN-therm elbow PP female thread 16 x 1/2" model 04104616

The KAN-therm elbow PP female thread 16 x 1/2" model 04104616 is a polypropylene elbow fitting designed to connect a 16 mm PP pipeline to a component with a 1/2" male thread. It provides a right-angle change of flow direction while offering a threaded connection point for valves, fixtures or instruments. The fitting is intended for plumbing and heating systems where a durable, chemical-resistant joint is required and where a transition from plastic pipe to a threaded metal or plastic component is needed.

Advantages

This KAN-therm PP elbow combines the corrosion and chemical resistance of polypropylene with a factory-formed female thread for secure connections. Its compact 90° design reduces the space needed for directional changes, and the smooth internal surface supports low pressure drop and minimal sediment build-up. The fitting is suitable for systems that require compatibility with standard 1/2" threaded components and offers reliable sealing when used with appropriate thread sealant or tape.

Suitable for

• Plumbing systems connecting 16 mm PP pipe to 1/2" threaded valves or fittings
• Heating installations requiring low-corrosion elbow connections
• Domestic and light commercial water supply lines
• Applications where chemical resistance and compact fittings are necessary

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Connection 1: socket for 16 mm PP pipe
• Connection 2: female thread compatible with 1/2" male thread
• Angle: 90° elbow
• Typical use: potable water, heating systems, low-pressure applications

How to use

Install the elbow by preparing the 16 mm PP pipe end according to the pipe system’s joining method (e.g., insertion to the socket, fusion or recommended mechanical connection where applicable) and ensure a clean, square cut. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the 1/2" male thread of the mating component, then engage the female thread of the elbow and tighten to the manufacturer-recommended torque or until a secure, leak-free joint is achieved. Follow the KAN-therm system instructions and local plumbing codes during installation.

Usage recommendations

Use this elbow in systems operating within the temperature and pressure limits specified for PP fittings. Avoid exposure to prolonged UV or direct sunlight without protection, and select compatible sealants and mating materials to prevent galvanic or chemical interactions. For critical or high-temperature applications, consult system documentation or technical support to confirm suitability.
