The KAN-therm 45° elbow press fitting in steel, size 22x22 mm, is designed to join two 22 mm pipes at a 45-degree angle using a press connection. The fitting provides a durable metal-to-metal joint intended for plumbing and heating systems in residential and commercial installations. Manufactured for sealed, permanent connections when installed with a compatible press tool and press jaws, this steel elbow supports directional changes in piping runs while maintaining flow integrity and mechanical strength.
Advantages
This steel 45° elbow offers corrosion resistance typical of pressed steel fittings and delivers consistent dimensional accuracy for reliable alignment of pipe runs. The press connection method ensures fast, repeatable installations without the need for soldering, welding, or threading, reducing onsite labor and heat-related risks. The compact 22x22 mm dimensions make it suitable for confined spaces while providing solid structural performance under system pressure when installed according to manufacturer guidelines.
Suitable for
- Plumbing systems in residential buildings
- Heating systems, including hydronic circuits and radiators
- Commercial installations requiring metal press fittings
- Directional changes in pipework where a 45° angle is needed
Key specifications
- Material: steel
- Angle: 45 degrees
- Connection type: press connection
- Pipe size: 22 x 22 mm
- Application: potable water, heating and plumbing systems (subject to local codes)
How to use
Prepare the pipe ends by cutting squarely and deburring the internal and external edges. Slide the fitting onto the prepared 22 mm pipes, ensuring correct insertion depth and alignment. Use a compatible press tool and appropriate press jaws sized for 22 mm steel press fittings to make the connection. Verify each press visually and, where applicable, with the tool’s confirmation method. After pressing, inspect the joint for proper deformation and alignment and perform pressure testing of the system per applicable installation standards and regulations.
Usage recommendations
Use only press tools and jaws recommended for steel 22 mm fittings; follow local building codes and KAN-therm installation instructions. Avoid exposing unpressed fittings to system pressure. When installing in concealed or insulated locations, ensure access for testing and reference thermal expansion requirements for the system design.
