Copper 90° elbow fitting KAN-therm 15 mm – soldered plumbing connector

The KAN-therm Copper 90° elbow fitting 15 mm is a soldered plumbing connector designed to create a reliable right-angle joint between 15 mm copper pipes. Made from corrosion-resistant copper alloy, the elbow is intended for potable water systems, heating circuits and general pipe routing where a compact, durable 90° turn is required. The soldered design ensures a tight, permanent connection after brazing or soft soldering, suitable for standard plumbing and heating applications.

Advantages

The fitting offers a compact footprint and a smooth internal profile to minimise flow resistance at the bend. Copper construction gives good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance for long-term service in water and heating systems. The soldered joint method delivers mechanical stability and leak-tight performance when installed by qualified personnel using appropriate soldering techniques.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution
• Domestic and commercial heating circuits
• Pipe routing in tight spaces where a 90° change of direction is required
• Repair or modification of existing copper piping systems

Key specifications

• Material: copper alloy suitable for soldered connections
• Connection type: soldered elbow for 15 mm copper pipe
• Angle: 90°
• Nominal pipe size: 15 mm
• Typical applications: cold and hot water, heating installations

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting square, deburring and cleaning surfaces to remove oxides and contaminants. Apply appropriate flux to the mating surfaces, assemble the elbow onto the pipe and heat the joint evenly until solder flows and creates a continuous fillet. Allow the joint to cool naturally and then inspect for a uniform solder seal. Follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines for safe soldering temperatures and methods. Use proper personal protective equipment and ventilation when soldering.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use compatible soft solder or brazing filler metals recommended for potable water or heating systems, and ensure joints are pressure-tested after cooling. Avoid excessive heating that could damage nearby components or fittings. When installing in concealed locations, ensure accessibility for future inspection or service.
