KAN-therm elbow with male threaded end 15×1/2" long 620199.8

KAN-therm long elbow with male threaded end 15×1/2" long (model 620199.8) is a 90° angled fitting designed to connect 15 mm plastic or metal pipes to 1/2" threaded components. It provides a compact, extended reach elbow that facilitates transitions between press-fit or push-fit tubing and conventionally threaded valves, adapters or appliances in water and heating systems. The construction ensures a stable mechanical and hydraulic connection suitable for installation where a longer threaded reach is needed.

Advantages

The long elbow features a male threaded end engineered for secure engagement with standard 1/2" female fittings while the opposite end is sized for 15 mm pipe connection, offering compatibility with common plumbing materials. Its elongated design simplifies installation in confined or recessed locations by providing additional thread length and clearance. The fitting is intended for reliable performance in potable water and central heating circuits, reducing the need for extra adapters and minimizing potential leak points when installed correctly.

Suitable for

• Connecting 15 mm plastic or metal pipes to 1/2" threaded valves and appliances
• Water distribution systems in residential and commercial buildings
• Central heating circuits where a compact 90° long-reach connection is required
• Installations in confined spaces or recessed wall boxes requiring extra thread length

Key specifications

• Connection A: 15 mm pipe connection suitable for plastic or metal tubing
• Connection B: male 1/2" threaded end for standard threaded fittings
• Angle: 90° elbow
• Design type: long/elbow with extended threaded reach for recessed installations
• Typical applications: potable water and heating systems

How to use

Prepare the 15 mm pipe end according to the pipe system requirements (cut square, deburr, and, if applicable, apply the prescribed joining method). Thread the male 1/2" end into the corresponding female fitting using appropriate sealing method for threaded joints (thread tape or sealant) and tighten to the torque recommended by the fitting and valve manufacturers. Ensure alignment of the elbow so the 90° orientation meets system routing needs and check the joint for leaks after pressurizing the circuit. Follow local plumbing codes and the installation guidelines of the pipe system in use.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible sealing materials on the male thread and avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to threads or deformation of the fitting. Verify material compatibility with system media and operating temperatures before installation. When integrating into heating systems, ensure the system is flushed and free of debris to protect sealing surfaces and extend service life.
