KAN-therm reducing press fitting Steel Press 54×18 mm 620667.3

The KAN-therm reducing press fitting Steel Press 54×18 mm 620667.3 is a compact metallic fitting designed to create a durable, leak-resistant transition between pipes of different diameters. Made for use in plumbing and heating systems, this steel reducing press fitting allows a safe and permanent reduction from a 54 mm pipe to an 18 mm pipe when installed with compatible press tools and press rings. The component is intended for professional installation where a reliable mechanical press joint is required and when space or layout necessitates a stepped diameter change.

Advantages

The steel construction provides mechanical strength and dimensional stability under typical operating conditions in heating and potable water systems. The press connection method offers a consistent, fast assembly process without the need for open flames or soldering, reducing installation time and on-site risks. The reducing geometry permits straightforward integration into existing pipe runs, enabling a smooth diameter transition while maintaining flow integrity when sized appropriately.

Suitable for

• Plumbing installations requiring a reduction from 54 mm to 18 mm
• Heating systems and boiler connections with stepped pipe transitions
• Retrofit work where a compact mechanical reduction is needed
• Applications using compatible press tools and stainless or carbon steel press rings

Key specifications

• Material: steel construction suitable for press connections
• Connection type: press fitting for permanent mechanical joint
• Dimensions: inlet diameter 54 mm, outlet diameter 18 mm
• Function: reducing/stepped transition fitting for pipe systems
• Application areas: plumbing and heating networks

How to use

Prepare both pipe ends by cutting square and deburring inner and outer edges. Ensure compatibility of press rings and press tool jaws with the steel press fitting dimensions. Slide the correct press ring onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the fitting until it seats, and perform the press operation according to the press tool manufacturer's instructions to achieve a complete mechanical crimp. After pressing, visually inspect the joint and, where applicable, test the system for leaks under the appropriate pressure conditions.

Usage recommendations

Use only press rings and tools specified for steel press fittings and follow local codes for potable water and heating installations. Avoid chemical exposure or environments outside the material's specified operating conditions. For long runs or mixed-material systems, consider thermal expansion and potential galvanic corrosion; implement insulating measures where dissimilar metals are joined.
