Copper 45° Elbow KAN-therm 15 mm - plumbing fitting for 45-degree pipe connection

The KAN-therm Copper 45° Elbow 15 mm is a plumbing fitting designed to change the direction of 15 mm copper pipes by 45 degrees. Manufactured from copper, the elbow provides corrosion resistance and good thermal conductivity, making it suitable for potable water distribution as well as heating and cooling circuits. Its compact form factor allows installation in confined spaces and simplifies directional transitions in domestic and light commercial plumbing systems.

Advantages

This copper elbow offers stable mechanical strength and long-term durability in wet environments. Copper construction ensures reliable thermal transfer and resistance to galvanic corrosion when used with compatible materials. The 45° geometry reduces flow disturbance compared with sharp-angle fittings and enables neater pipe routing in tight layouts. The fitting is suitable for standard joining methods for copper pipework.

Suitable for

• Changing pipe direction by 45° in potable water systems
• Routing pipes in heating and cooling installations
• Compact or confined installation spaces where gradual angle is required
• Retrofit and new-build copper plumbing projects

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Angle: 45 degrees
• Connection diameter: 15 mm
• Application: potable water, heating and cooling systems
• Suitable joining methods: soldering and other copper-compatible techniques
• Design: compact elbow for tight installations

How to use

Prepare 15 mm copper pipe ends by cutting square and deburring. Clean and flux the pipe and fitting surfaces according to the chosen joining method. Assemble the elbow onto the pipe ends, ensuring correct insertion depth and alignment for the 45° change of direction. Complete the joint by soldering or using the specified copper-compatible joining technique, then allow the joint to cool and inspect for continuity and leak-tightness before pressurizing the system.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible materials and approved fluxes when soldering to avoid galvanic issues. Verify local plumbing codes for potable water and heating systems and perform pressure testing after installation. In mixed-metal installations, consider dielectric fittings or appropriate isolation to prevent corrosion.
