Stainless steel press reducing fitting KAN-therm 54×18 mm Inox Press (1609221037)

KAN-therm Inox Press reducing fitting 54×18 mm is a stainless steel press connection designed to join pipes of different diameters in plumbing, heating and cooling systems. The reducer creates a durable mechanical joint between 54 mm and 18 mm pipes using press tools compatible with Inox Press systems, offering corrosion resistance and a compact transition where space or material compatibility requires a stainless solution.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction ensures long-term resistance to corrosion and high temperatures, while the press connection provides a consistently leak-resistant joint without the need for soldering or welding. The compact reducer shape simplifies installation in confined spaces and reduces the need for additional adapters. Compatibility with Inox Press press-tools streamlines fitting integration into existing stainless press installations.

Suitable for

• Transitioning between 54 mm and 18 mm pipework in plumbing systems
• Hydronic heating and radiator connections requiring a stainless transition
• Cooling circuits where corrosion resistance is needed
• Retrofit and renovation projects with limited installation space

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel (Inox)
• Connection type: press-fitting compatible with Inox Press systems
• Dimensions: larger end 54 mm, reduced end 18 mm
• Application: connections for potable water, heating and cooling installations
• Joint type: mechanical press joint providing a leak-resistant seal

How to use

Select pipe ends with clean, square cuts and ensure the pipe surfaces are free from burrs and debris. Insert the 18 mm and 54 mm pipes fully into the respective ends of the reducer until they reach the internal stop. Use a press tool and jaws compatible with Inox Press fittings to perform the press operation according to the tool manufacturer's instructions and the Inox Press system guidelines. After pressing, visually inspect the joint and, where applicable, perform pressure testing of the system following local standards and project requirements.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools and jaws certified for Inox Press stainless fittings and follow manufacturer guidelines for pressing sequence and maintenance. Avoid chemical cleaners that may damage stainless surfaces and ensure correct pipe alignment to prevent stress on the joint. For systems carrying potable water or operating at elevated temperatures, adhere to applicable installation codes and perform pressure tests after installation.
