KAN-therm elbow GW 16 1/2" hanger-mounted PP (model 1209069006)

The KAN-therm elbow GW 16 1/2" hanger-mounted PP is a compact polypropylene elbow designed for plumbing and heating installations. It combines a 16 mm nominal pipe connection with a 1/2" female threaded outlet, enabling a change of pipe direction while providing a secure threaded connection point. The hanger-mounted design allows the fitting to be supported from mounting brackets or hangers, reducing stress on connected piping and simplifying installation in confined spaces.

Advantages

This polypropylene elbow offers chemical and corrosion resistance typical of PP materials, lightweight construction for easier handling, and dimensional stability under normal operating temperatures of potable water and heating systems. The hanger-mounted configuration ensures secure mechanical support and reduces the need for additional bracketing at branch points. The female threaded interface provides a standard connection for fittings, valves or accessories, allowing flexible integration into existing installations.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial hot and cold water distribution systems
• Underfloor heating manifolds and branch connections
• Plumbing installations in residential and light-commercial buildings
• Situations requiring a compact elbow with a threaded outlet and hanger support

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Nominal pipe size: 16 mm
• Threaded outlet: 1/2" female (GW)
• Mounting style: hanger-mounted for attachment to brackets or supports
• Function: 90° elbow to change pipe direction and provide a threaded connection point

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends according to standard pipe preparation procedures for polypropylene connections. Attach the elbow to the 16 mm pipe using the appropriate joining method for PP piping systems (such as mechanical fittings or approved fusion/jointing technique per system requirements). Secure the hanger-mounted bracket to a suitable support so the fitting is held firmly in place, then connect the 1/2" female threaded component (valve, adapter or accessory) ensuring proper sealing with the recommended sealing method for threaded joints. Verify alignment and support to avoid undue stress on joints.

Использование и эксплуатация

The fitting should be installed by a qualified plumber following local codes and manufacturer guidelines; ensure system pressure and temperature limits are observed.
