KAN-therm elbow 90° 16 mm PP plumbing fitting, model 1209068010

The KAN-therm elbow 90° 16 mm PP is a polypropylene plumbing fitting designed to create a precise right-angle change of direction in 16 mm plastic piping systems. Intended for installations in heating circuits, potable water supply lines and general plumbing applications, the fitting provides a compact and reliable joint for routing pipes where a 90° turn is required. Manufactured to match common 16 mm PP piping dimensions, the elbow supports standard joining methods used with polypropylene distribution systems.

Advantages

This 90° elbow is produced from durable polypropylene, offering chemical resistance, dimensional stability and low weight compared with metal alternatives. Its compact form enables space-efficient pipe routing in confined installations. The fitting is compatible with established 16 mm PP connections, facilitating straightforward installation and consistent joint performance in heating and potable water systems.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution with 16 mm PP piping
• Underfloor and radiator heating installations using 16 mm plastic pipes
• Plumbing systems requiring compact right-angle turns in tight spaces
• Repair or extension of existing 16 mm PP pipe networks

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Angle: 90° right-angle elbow
• Nominal pipe diameter: 16 mm
• Application: heating systems, potable water and general plumbing
• Form factor: compact elbow for tight routing

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm PP pipes by cutting squarely and cleaning the ends before assembly. Install the elbow using the compatible joining method recommended for polypropylene fittings in the piping system—ensure that connection surfaces are properly aligned and fully inserted to the correct depth. After assembly, verify joint integrity and, where required, perform pressure or leak tests in accordance with local installation standards and the piping system manufacturer's guidance.

Usage recommendations

Use the elbow with pipes and accessories specified for 16 mm polypropylene systems, follow the pipe system manufacturer's joining procedures, and conduct pressure testing after installation. Avoid exposure to mechanical damage and prolonged UV radiation; store components indoors until installation.
