KAN-therm plumbing fitting for faucet installation 15 x 1/2" with mounting ears, model 6191801

The KAN-therm plumbing fitting for faucet installation 15 x 1/2" with mounting ears, model 6191801, is a transition component designed to connect 15 mm plumbing pipes to standard 1/2" faucet threads. It features integrated mounting ears that allow the fitting to be fixed to a wall or fixture surface, providing a stable and leak-resistant connection between plastic or metal distribution pipes and faucets. The fitting is intended for use in residential and commercial bathroom and kitchen installations where a compact, durable adapter is required.

Advantages

This KAN-therm fitting provides a secure mechanical and hydraulic connection for converting 15 mm pipework to a 1/2" threaded faucet inlet while offering built-in mounting ears for fixed positioning. The design reduces movement and stress on jointed pipes, helps maintain alignment during installation, and simplifies attachment to mounting surfaces. Materials and construction are selected to ensure compatibility with common plumbing systems and to deliver consistent sealing performance when installed with appropriate fittings and sealing materials.

Suitable for

• Connecting 15 mm water supply pipes to 1/2" faucet threads in bathrooms and kitchens
• Domestic and light commercial plumbing installations
• Situations requiring a fixed mounting point to secure a faucet connection

Key specifications

• Connection sizes: 15 mm to 1/2" threaded faucet
• Integrated mounting ears for fixed attachment
• Designed for use with plastic or metal distribution pipes
• Compact form factor suitable for concealed or exposed installations

How to use

Prepare the 15 mm supply pipe by cutting square and deburring the end. Attach the fitting to the pipe according to the compatible jointing method for the pipe material (e.g., press, compression, or appropriate solvent/weld technique as required by the piping system). Secure the fitting to the mounting surface using the integrated ears and suitable fasteners, ensuring alignment with the faucet inlet. Thread the faucet onto the 1/2" connection, using an appropriate sealing method (such as PTFE tape or approved sealant) where required, and test the assembly for leaks at working pressure before completing the installation.

Usage recommendations

Use installers' standard practices: verify compatibility with the existing piping material and jointing method, follow manufacturer and local plumbing codes for fastening and sealing, and perform pressure testing after installation. Select corrosion-resistant fasteners for the mounting ears and avoid overtightening the faucet thread to prevent damage to the fitting or faucet.
