Copper 90° Elbow KAN-therm 22 mm soldered fitting

The KAN-therm Copper 90° Elbow 22 mm is a soldered plumbing fitting intended to change the direction of 22 mm copper pipe runs by a right-angle turn. Made from copper, the elbow provides corrosion resistance and good thermal conductivity, making it suitable for heating, potable water and HVAC systems in residential and light commercial installations. The fitting is designed for permanent soldered joints and integrates with standard 22 mm copper piping using appropriate soldering techniques and flux.

Advantages

The copper construction ensures durability and resistance to corrosion while maintaining effective heat transfer in thermal systems. As a 90° elbow, it provides a compact and reliable solution for changing pipe direction without additional mechanical fittings. The soldered joint method offers a secure, leak-resistant connection when installed correctly and is compatible with common copper pipe installation practices used by plumbers and HVAC technicians.

Suitable for

• Heating systems (radiator and underfloor heating circuits)
• Potable water distribution and cold/hot water lines
• HVAC pipework and coils in light commercial or residential buildings
• Plumbing runs requiring a right-angle change of direction with 22 mm copper pipe

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Connection type: soldered (brazed/sweat) fitting for copper pipe
• Nominal pipe size: 22 mm
• Application: heating, potable water, HVAC

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends by cutting square and deburring the bore and the outside edges. Clean both the pipe and the fitting inner surface with an appropriate abrasive or brush and apply flux compatible with copper soldering. Insert the pipe fully into the elbow fitting and heat the joint evenly using a suitable torch until the solder flows to form a continuous fillet around the joint. Allow the assembly to cool naturally and wipe away excess flux residue. Pressure-test the system according to applicable local standards before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow local plumbing codes. Select flux and solder alloy suitable for potable water systems when installed on drinking water lines, and ensure joints are made by qualified personnel or trained installers to maintain leak-free, durable connections.
