KAN-therm elbow 54x54 90° Steel Press fitting

The KAN-therm elbow 54x54 90° Steel Press fitting is a compact right-angle connector designed for press-fit piping systems. Made of steel and sized for 54 x 54 mm connections, this 90° elbow provides a durable joint solution where a sealed, low-profile bend is required. It is intended for use in potable water, heating and refrigeration installations that specify steel press fittings and compatible press tools.

Advantages

This steel press elbow delivers a strong, leak-resistant connection when installed with the appropriate pressing tool and jaws. Its compact geometry minimizes space requirements at corners and enables straightforward integration into existing pipe runs. Steel construction offers mechanical robustness and suitability for systems with specified metallic fittings. The press connection eliminates the need for hot work and reduces installation time compared with traditional welded or threaded joints.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution systems
• Heating systems and radiators
• Refrigeration and chilled water installations
• Tight or confined spaces requiring compact 90° turns

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Connection type: press-fit
• Angle: 90°
• Nominal connection dimensions: 54 x 54 mm
• Application: potable water, heating, refrigeration

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends by cutting square and deburring to ensure full insertion. Mark insertion depth on the pipe if required by the press system. Insert each pipe into the elbow until the stop, then position the appropriate press tool and jaw around the fitting. Activate the press tool according to the manufacturer's instructions to form the permanent press joint. After pressing, verify the integrity of the connection visually and, where applicable, perform a pressure test of the system following local installation standards.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools, jaws and procedures recommended by the fitting manufacturer to ensure a certified, leak-free connection. Store fittings in a dry environment and avoid mechanical damage to sealing areas before installation. Follow relevant plumbing and HVAC codes for system testing and commissioning.
