Elbow fitting KAN-therm 15x1/2" short, male thread (model 620208.6)

KAN-therm short elbow fitting 15x1/2" short, male thread (model 620208.6) provides a compact transition between a 15 mm socket pipe and a 1/2" male threaded connection. This elbow is intended for plumbing and heating systems where a right-angle change of direction is required together with a threaded outlet to connect valves, fixtures or adapters. Constructed to meet requirements for potable water and central heating installations, the fitting is suitable for confined spaces where a short, reliable threaded elbow is needed.

Advantages

The compact design reduces space requirements at pipe junctions while maintaining a standard 1/2" male thread for compatibility with common valves and accessories. The socket-to-thread transition simplifies installation by allowing soldering or press connection on the pipe side and direct screwing on the threaded side. Materials and dimensions are selected to ensure reliable sealing and long-term operation in potable water and heating circuits.

Suitable for

• Changing pipe direction in domestic potable water systems
• Connecting heating system components in central heating circuits
• Linking copper or compatible 15 mm pipes to 1/2" threaded valves or fixtures
• Installations with limited clearance requiring a short elbow

Key specifications

• Pipe connection size: 15 mm socket
• Threaded connection: 1/2" male thread
• Elbow type: 90-degree short elbow
• Intended application: potable water and central heating systems
• Compatibility: designed for use with standard 1/2" threaded valves and fixtures

How to use

Prepare the 15 mm pipe end according to the connection method (clean and deburr for soldering or follow press-connection instructions). Insert the pipe into the socket side and complete the joint using the approved technique for the fitting material. Screw the 1/2" male thread into the corresponding female-threaded component, applying appropriate thread sealant or sealing tape if required by the installation standards. Verify alignment at the elbow to ensure correct flow direction and secure sealing before restoring system pressure.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible sealing materials on the 1/2" thread and follow local plumbing codes for potable water and heating systems. Inspect joints after initial pressurization and during routine maintenance. Employ proper installation tools and methods for the socket connection to ensure a reliable, leak-free joint.
