KAN-therm Obejście 15x15 bypass fitting 15×15 mm

KAN-therm Obejście 15x15 bypass fitting 15×15 mm is a compact plumbing component intended for 15 mm piping systems. Manufactured by KAN-therm, this bypass fitting allows flow to be redirected around a valve, radiator or other fixture to enable maintenance, balancing or temporary rerouting without altering the main pipeline layout. It is designed for use in domestic and light commercial heating and plumbing installations that use 15 mm copper, PEX or multilayer pipes compatible with KAN-therm connections.

Advantages

The bypass fitting offers a space-saving connection that simplifies isolation and servicing of individual circuit elements while preserving system continuity. Its design reduces the need to shut down or modify adjacent pipework during routine maintenance and enables quick establishment of an alternative flow path for balancing or testing. The fitting is compatible with standard 15 mm piping practices and supports reliable sealing and mechanical stability when installed according to KAN-therm guidelines.

Suitable for

• Creating a temporary bypass around valves, radiators or fixtures in 15 mm systems
• Isolation and maintenance works without interrupting the entire circuit
• Hydronic balancing and commissioning of heating circuits using 15 mm pipes
• Small domestic plumbing repairs where a compact bypass is required

Key specifications

• Compatible pipe size: 15 mm
• Function: bypass / reroute flow around a valve or fixture
• Application: heating and plumbing installations
• Suitable pipe types: copper, cross-linked polyethylene (PEX), multilayer pipes compatible with KAN-therm fittings
• Installation: inline compact fitting for local bypassing and balancing tasks

How to use

Install the bypass fitting inline with the existing 15 mm pipeline at the point where flow diversion is required. Ensure the system is depressurised and cooled before cutting or disconnecting any pipe sections. Prepare pipe ends according to the chosen connection method (e.g., push-fit, compression, or soldering) compatible with the fitting and the piping material. Fit and secure the bypass assembly following KAN-therm installation instructions and applicable plumbing codes, then pressure-test the circuit to confirm leak-free operation before restoring full system pressure and temperature.

Usage recommendations

Use the bypass fitting for short-term rerouting, maintenance and commissioning tasks. Verify material compatibility with your 15 mm pipes and follow KAN-therm or local installation standards. Regularly inspect connections after installation and perform pressure tests to ensure sealing integrity.
