KAN-therm stainless steel press fitting GZ 15x1/2 AG Inox Press (1609272000)

The KAN-therm stainless steel press fitting GZ 15x1/2 AG Inox Press is a compact press connection combining a 15 mm socket for pipe insertion and a 1/2" male threaded outlet. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this fitting is intended for creating permanent, leak-resistant joints in potable water and heating systems. It is designed for use with compatible PEX, multilayer or metal piping systems where a pressed connection is required and a threaded interface is needed for valves or accessories.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction provides high corrosion resistance and suitability for aggressive water conditions and long-term installations. The press connection ensures a reliable, uniform joint created by a pressing tool, eliminating the need for soldering or adhesives. The integrated male thread enables direct connection to threaded valves and fixtures, simplifying installation and reducing the number of intermediate parts.

Suitable for

• Domestic potable water distribution systems
• Heating systems (radiator and underfloor connections)
• Connections to valves, taps and meters with 1/2" female thread
• Renovation and retrofitting where corrosion-resistant fittings are required

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel (corrosion-resistant)
• Press connection size: 15 mm
• Thread type and size: male 1/2"
• Connection method: mechanical pressing with compatible press tools and jaws
• Typical applications: potable water and central heating systems

How to use

Prepare the piping by cutting pipe ends square and deburring the inner and outer edges. Slide the appropriate stainless steel fitting onto the prepared pipe until it seats fully against the stop. Position the pressing jaws around the fitting according to the press tool manufacturer’s guidance and perform the press cycle to create the permanent joint. After pressing, attach the mating 1/2" female threaded component and tighten to the required torque for a secure connection.

Usage recommendations

Use certified press tools and manufacturer-recommended jaws sized for 15 mm press fittings. Verify compatibility between pipe material and the stainless steel fitting, and inspect each pressed joint visually and, where required, with non-destructive testing methods. Avoid exposing threaded connections to excessive torque; use appropriate sealing tape or sealants only where specified for potable water systems.
