Compression fitting KAN-therm 16 x 3/4" for press systems, model 1010271002

KAN-therm compression fitting 16 x 3/4" for press systems (model 1010271002) is a press-compatible connector designed to join 16 mm plastic or metal-plastic pipe to a 3/4" threaded outlet. Intended for plumbing and heating installations, this fitting creates a mechanical seal when installed with compatible press tools and press sleeves, providing a reliable connection for water supply, heating circuits and service lines.

Advantages

The fitting is engineered for use with press systems, offering fast, repeatable assembly without soldering or welding and reducing installation time. Its design provides a leak-resistant mechanical joint when used with appropriate press sleeves and tools. The compact construction allows installation in confined spaces and on distribution manifolds. Materials and dimensions are chosen to match common 16 mm PEX and multilayer pipe systems and standard 3/4" threaded fixtures.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water supply connections
• Heating circuit service and branch connections
• Connection of 16 mm plastic or metal-plastic pipe to 3/4" threaded valves, taps and appliances
• Installation in tight spaces and manifold assemblies

Key specifications

• Pipe connection size: 16 mm (for plastic or metal-plastic pipe)
• Threaded connection: 3/4" external/internal thread compatible with standard threaded fittings
• Connection method: press-fit on pipe side, threaded on the other side
• Material compatibility: suitable for PEX and multilayer pipes used in plumbing and heating
• Application: potable water and heating systems
• Designed for use with compatible press sleeves and press tools

How to use

Prepare the pipe by cutting squarely and deburring the end. Slide the appropriate press sleeve onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the fitting until it reaches the internal stop, then position the press jaws around the sleeve at the manufacturer-recommended location. Operate the press tool to make the permanent mechanical connection. Thread the 3/4" side to the mating threaded fitting or valve using appropriate sealing method for the thread (such as PTFE tape or thread sealant) where required by local practice. After assembly, pressure-test the system according to applicable standards and installation rules.

Usage recommendations

Use only press sleeves and press tools that are compatible with KAN-therm press fittings. Verify pipe type and wall thickness before installation. Follow local plumbing and heating codes for thread sealing and pressure testing to ensure a durable and compliant joint.
