Elbow 45° push-fit 16 mm KAN-therm (model 1209068019)

KAN-therm 45° push-fit elbow for 16 mm pipe systems is a compact single-angle fitting designed to change the direction of a pipeline by 45 degrees. Intended for use in plumbing and heating installations, the fitting creates a reliable push-fit connection between 16 mm pipes in systems compatible with PE and PP materials. The design supports quick assembly without specialized tools and is suited for constrained spaces where a gentle directional change is required.

Advantages

The push-fit connection enables fast, tool-free installation while maintaining a secure seal with properly prepared 16 mm pipes. Its 45° geometry allows smooth flow transitions and reduces stress at joint locations compared to sharper angles. The fitting is compact, which makes it easy to place in tight installation zones and to integrate into modular piping layouts. Manufactured to industry standards for plumbing and heating components, it is compatible with common PE/PP pipe systems.

Suitable for

• Changing pipe direction by 45° in residential and light-commercial plumbing systems
• Underfloor heating manifold connections and distribution branches with 16 mm pipes
• Compact routing in mechanical rooms, cabinets, or behind fixtures
• Repairing or modifying existing PE/PP 16 mm pipelines

Key specifications

• Angle: 45° single-angle elbow
• Connection type: push-fit for quick assembly
• Pipe compatibility: designed for 16 mm diameter pipes (PE/PP-compatible)
• Typical application: plumbing and heating distribution systems
• Form factor: compact elbow for space-constrained installations

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and deburring to ensure a smooth, clean surface. Push the pipe into the fitting until it reaches the internal stop; verify a secure engagement by a light pull test. Ensure the pipe material and wall thickness match the fitting's compatibility for a reliable seal. For installations carrying heated water or under pressure, follow system-specific guidelines for supporting and securing runs to avoid undue mechanical stress on the joint.

Usage recommendations

Use the fitting only with compatible 16 mm PE or PP pipes and follow local plumbing and heating codes. Check for visible damage before installation and avoid excessive bending near the joint. For permanent pressurized heating systems, consider periodic inspection and secure pipe fixation to maintain long-term joint integrity.
