KAN-therm wall elbow PPSU GW Press 20 Rp1/2 L=40 mm

The KAN-therm wall elbow PPSU GW Press 20 Rp1/2 L=40 mm is a press fitting elbow designed for secure transitions between press-fit pipes and threaded fixtures in wall-mounted plumbing and heating installations. Manufactured from PPSU (polyphenylsulfone), the fitting provides chemical and temperature resistance suitable for potable water and heating circuits. The compact L=40 mm length and 20 mm connection diameter allow installation in confined spaces where a reliable Rp1/2 threaded outlet is required.

Advantages

Made from PPSU material, the fitting offers high resistance to corrosion, hydrolysis and long-term thermal stress compared with standard plastics. The press connection ensures a permanent, leak-resistant joint when installed with appropriate press tools and jaws. The integrated Rp1/2 threaded outlet simplifies connection to valves, mixers or other pipework components, reducing the need for adapters. The compact dimensions support neat wall-mounted installations and ease of alignment during fitting.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution systems
• Heating and radiator feed lines
• Transitions from press-fit plastic or metal pipes to Rp1/2 threaded fixtures
• Installation in confined wall spaces and service shafts

Key specifications

• Material: PPSU (polyphenylsulfone) for enhanced durability
• Connection type: press-fit on one side, internal Rp1/2 thread on the other
• Nominal pipe diameter: 20 mm
• Overall length: 40 mm
• Application: cold and hot water, heating systems

How to use

Select a compatible 20 mm press-fit pipe and ensure the pipe end is cut square, deburred and clean. Insert the pipe into the press end fully to the stop, then perform the press operation using the correct press tool and jaw size recommended for PPSU fittings. On the threaded side, apply the appropriate thread sealant or tape if required by the connected component, and hand-tighten before final engagement with a wrench to the torque recommended by the downstream fixture manufacturer. After installation, perform a pressure test of the system according to applicable standards and inspect joints for leaks.

Usage recommendations

If used in potable water or heating installations, follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines for press-tool selection, allowable operating temperatures and pressure ratings. Avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals or open flame. Store fittings in a dry, shaded area to preserve material properties prior to installation.
