Compression fitting (Śrubunek) KAN-therm 16 x 1/2" 04107216 for PP pipe connections

The KAN-therm compression fitting (Śrubunek) 16 x 1/2" is designed to join 16 mm polypropylene (PP) pipes to 1/2" threaded metal fittings. It creates a mechanical seal between plastic piping and threaded components, providing a transition element for potable water systems, heating circuits and general domestic plumbing tasks. The fitting is intended for use where a reliable, compact connection between PP pipework and threaded valves, radiators or fixtures is required.

Advantages

This compression fitting provides a secure mechanical connection without the need for heat or adhesive bonding, making installation faster and suitable for on-site repairs. Its compact design minimizes space requirements and provides a neat junction between PP piping and metal-threaded parts. The fitting is compatible with commonly used 16 mm PP pipes and standard 1/2" threads, enabling straightforward integration into existing systems. Materials and design ensure a durable joint appropriate for potable water and heating applications when installed according to guidelines.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16 mm PP pipes to 1/2" threaded valves and fittings
• Domestic potable water supply installations and repairs
• Heating circuit connections to radiators, manifolds or boilers
• Retrofit and renovation projects where plastic-to-metal transition is required

Key specifications

• Pipe size compatibility: 16 mm polypropylene (PP) pipe
• Thread size: 1/2" standard threaded connection
• Connection type: compression (mechanical) fitting for PP to threaded metal
• Application: potable water and heating systems
• Design: compact transition fitting for tight installation spaces

How to use

Cut the PP pipe squarely and remove any burrs. Slide the compression nut and sealing components onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the fitting body until it seats against the internal stop, then tighten the compression nut to the recommended torque to form the mechanical seal. Attach the 1/2" threaded component to the fitting and ensure the joint is correctly aligned. After assembly, perform a pressure test according to local plumbing standards to verify leak-free operation.

Usage recommendations

Use with clean, undamaged 16 mm PP pipes and compatible 1/2" threaded fittings. Follow manufacturer torque values and local codes for potable water and heating installations. Avoid excessive tightening that could deform the PP pipe or fitting components; if in doubt, consult system documentation or a qualified installer.
