KAN-therm elbow KOLANO ULTRALINE-16 GW 1/2" • KAN-therm 2509069002

KAN-therm elbow KOLANO ULTRALINE-16 GW 1/2" is a compact 90° pipe elbow fitting designed to connect 16 mm piping to a 1/2" female threaded connection. Manufactured by KAN-therm for plumbing and heating systems, this elbow enables a transition between small-diameter plastic or metal distribution pipes and standard 1/2" threaded components such as valves, taps or adapters. The fitting provides a space-efficient change of direction while maintaining a sealed threaded interface for secure attachment of fixtures.

Advantages

The elbow ensures a precise 90° change of direction with minimal footprint, making it suitable for installations in confined spaces. Its design allows direct connection of 16 mm pipes to 1/2" female threads, eliminating the need for intermediate adapters in many cases. The fitting is compatible with common plumbing and heating materials and provides a reliable threaded joint for fixtures and valves, supporting leak-tight performance when installed according to recommended procedures.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16 mm plastic or metal distribution pipes to 1/2" threaded valves and taps
• Compact directional changes in domestic plumbing and underfloor heating manifolds
• Retrofit work where a threaded connection to existing fixtures is required
• Applications requiring a sealed 90° transition between pipe systems and threaded components

Key specifications

• Angle: 90° elbow
• Piping connection diameter: 16 mm
• Threaded connection: 1/2" female (internal) thread
• Application: plumbing and heating installations
• Compatibility: suitable for use with common plastic and metal distribution pipes
• Installation type: connection between pipe and threaded fixture

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm pipe by cutting squarely and deburring the end. Insert or connect the pipe to the elbow according to the pipe system’s joining method (e.g., push-fit, crimp or fusion, depending on the compatible product family). Thread the 1/2" female connection onto the corresponding male thread of the valve or fixture, using appropriate thread sealant or tape where required. Tighten to the torque recommended by the valve or fixture manufacturer and verify the assembly for leaks under working pressure.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate sealing material on the 1/2" male thread and follow the pipe system manufacturer’s instructions for joining 16 mm pipe. Check compatibility between the elbow material and the pipe type before installation. Perform a pressure test after installation to confirm leak-tightness.
