KAN-therm connector reducing 32x26 with crimped ring Press 1009046046

KAN-therm connector reducing 32x26 with crimped ring Press 1009046046 is a pipe fitting engineered to join a 32 mm pipe to a 26 mm pipe using a press (crimp) connection. Intended for use in heating and potable water distribution systems, the reducing connector provides a compact, permanent transition between compatible metal or multilayer pipes while maintaining a sealed joint that resists leakage and mechanical stress.

Advantages

The press-fit design with a crimped ring ensures fast installation without soldering or threaded connections, reducing labor time and the need for open flame. The reduction geometry delivers a smooth flow transition that minimizes pressure loss and turbulence. Materials and manufacturing tolerances are selected to provide reliable sealing performance and long-term dimensional stability under typical system temperatures and pressures.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial heating systems
• Hot and cold potable water distribution
• Pipe networks requiring a permanent reduction from 32 mm to 26 mm
• Installations using press (crimp) joining technology

Key specifications

• Connection type: press (crimped ring)
• Nominal diameters: 32 mm to 26 mm
• Application: reduction fitting for water and heating systems
• Material: corrosion-resistant metal suitable for press joining
• Installation: permanent, non-removable joint after crimping

How to use

Select the appropriate pipe ends and ensure they are cut squarely, deburred and cleaned. Slide the crimp ring into position on the pipe, insert the reducing connector fully into both pipe ends, then operate the compatible press tool to crimp the ring according to the tool and ring manufacturer instructions. Verify the crimp profile and visual marks where applicable, then perform a pressure test of the system to confirm joint integrity before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools and jaws approved for the crimped ring system. Adhere to system design limits for temperature and pressure, follow local plumbing codes, and avoid mechanical bending or torsion on the joint after installation to ensure long-term performance.
