KAN-therm elbow 45° steel 18x18 mm 620171.2

The KAN-therm elbow 45° steel 18x18 mm is a compact metal pipe fitting designed to change the direction of a pipe run by 45 degrees. Intended for heating, plumbing and industrial installations, this 18x18 mm elbow offers a durable steel construction suitable for systems that require metallic fittings and reliable joint performance. The component fits compatible 18 mm lines and provides a stable angled connection where space constraints or routing necessitate a 45° deviation.

Advantages

Made from steel for enhanced mechanical strength and resistance to deformation, the elbow maintains connection integrity under typical thermal and hydraulic loads. Its 45° angle enables smoother directional changes compared with sharp elbows, reducing flow turbulence and pressure drop in many applications. The compact 18x18 mm size supports installations in confined spaces while remaining compatible with standard 18 mm systems designed for metallic fittings.

Suitable for

• Residential and commercial heating system pipe routing
• Plumbing installations requiring a 45° directional change
• Industrial pipe networks using 18 mm metallic lines
• Areas with limited installation space where compact fittings are needed

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Angle: 45 degrees
• Connection size: 18 x 18 mm
• Application type: heating, plumbing, industrial installations
• Shape: angled elbow for directional change

How to use

Install the elbow by preparing compatible 18 mm pipe ends according to the chosen joining method (welding, brazing, press-fit or threaded joining as applicable to the system and local regulations). Ensure pipe ends are clean and properly aligned before making the joint to achieve a secure, leak-free connection. After installation, perform pressure or leak testing in line with standard commissioning procedures for the given installation to confirm integrity.

Usage recommendations

Select the appropriate joining technique for steel fittings in your system and follow manufacturer and local codes for installation and testing. Verify material compatibility with the transported medium and operating temperature and pressure ranges to ensure long-term performance.
