Compression Fitting KAN-therm Ultraline 20 mm to G1/2" Male Thread

The KAN-therm Ultraline compression fitting 20 mm to G1/2" male thread provides a mechanical transition between a 20 mm plastic or metal pipe and a G1/2" threaded component. Designed for sealed, tool-assisted assembly without soldering, this fitting is intended for use in heating, cooling and potable water systems where a reliable 20 mm to G1/2" connection is required. The compact design enables installation in confined spaces while maintaining a continuous internal flow path and corrosion-resistant contact surfaces.

Advantages

This compression fitting offers a straightforward, leak-resistant connection that does not require heat or adhesives. Its design allows quick assembly with common plumbing tools and ensures a stable mechanical joint suitable for repeated maintenance or replacement of threaded components. The fitting reduces installation time compared with soldered or glued connections and minimizes the risk of thermal damage to surrounding materials.

Suitable for

• Transitions from 20 mm plastic or metal pipe to G1/2" threaded valves or appliances
• Domestic and commercial heating systems
• Cold and hot potable water installations
• Cooling circuits and radiator connections

Key specifications

• Pipe connection size: 20 mm
• Thread type: G1/2" male
• Connection method: compression fitting (mechanical seal)
• Compatible with common plastic and metal plumbing pipes of corresponding outer diameter
• Compact form factor for space-limited installations

How to use

Prepare the pipe end by cutting it square and deburring to ensure full contact with the fitting. Slide the fitting nut and compression ring onto the pipe, insert the pipe firmly into the body until it reaches the internal stop, then tighten the nut to the specified torque using appropriate wrenches. Do not use excessive force; tightening should compress the sealing element evenly to create a leak-resistant joint. After assembly, pressure-test the connection according to the installation standards applicable to the system.

Usage recommendations

Verify pipe compatibility and follow system pressure and temperature limits. Use suitable thread sealant on the G1/2" male thread only if specified by the system designer. For long-term reliability, inspect installed joints periodically and re-tighten only if allowed by the manufacturer’s guidelines.
