KAN-therm female reduction fitting PRESS INOX 42x18 mm 6192241

The KAN-therm female reduction fitting PRESS INOX 42x18 mm is a stainless-steel press connection designed to join pipes of two different diameters. It provides a reduction from 42 mm to 18 mm with a female threaded end, combining a press-fit joint on the larger side and a threaded connection on the smaller side. The fitting is intended for plumbing and heating systems where a compact, corrosion-resistant transition between pipe sizes is required.

Advantages

The PRESS INOX fitting is made from stainless steel to resist corrosion and maintain mechanical strength under typical system temperatures and pressures. The press connection enables fast, reliable assembly without soldering or threading tools on the larger end, while the female threaded side allows a secure connection to male-threaded components. Its compact design reduces installation space and minimizes the need for additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Residential and commercial plumbing systems
• Central heating and radiator connections
• Potable water installations where corrosion resistance is required
• Retrofit projects where a reduction from 42 mm to 18 mm is needed

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel (press-fit body)
• Connection types: press-fit on 42 mm side, female threaded on 18 mm side
• Pipe size transition: 42 mm → 18 mm
• Application: plumbing and heating systems
• Design: compact reduction fitting for space-saving installations

How to use

Ensure both pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Slide the stainless-steel press sleeve onto the 42 mm pipe end and position the fitting fully onto the pipe. Use an appropriate press tool and jaw sized for 42 mm press fittings to make a complete press cycle according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. On the 18 mm side, screw the mating male-threaded component into the female thread and tighten to the recommended torque for the mating material. Verify the press joint and threaded connection for proper assembly and pressure test the system as required.

Usage recommendations

Use certified press tools and jaws compatible with 42 mm stainless-steel PRESS INOX fittings. Follow local plumbing codes and the system manufacturer's guidelines for pressure testing, torque values for threaded connections, and permissible operating temperatures. Avoid using damaged fittings and inspect seals and threads before final assembly.
