Press Elbow 90° KAN-therm 76.1 mm stainless steel (model 6230004)

The KAN-therm press elbow 90° in stainless steel, nominal diameter 76.1 mm is a right-angle fitting designed for creating press-fit connections in fluid, heating and potable water pipework. Manufactured for use with stainless steel pipelines, the fitting provides a compact 90° change of direction while maintaining the corrosion resistance and mechanical strength expected for commercial and residential installations. The product is intended for systems that require reliable, permanent joints produced by a pressing process.

Advantages

This stainless steel press elbow offers corrosion-resistant construction and a smooth internal profile to minimise flow disturbance. The press-fit connection design enables fast, repeatable joint assembly without welding or soldering, reducing on-site labour and eliminating open flames. The fitting is compatible with standard pressing tools and jaws made for stainless steel press systems, delivering consistent mechanical integrity and leak-tight performance when installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Suitable for

• Hot and chilled water distribution in commercial and residential buildings
• Central heating and radiator connections
• Potable water systems requiring corrosion-resistant fittings
• Industrial fluid lines where stainless steel material is specified

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel (corrosion-resistant)
• Nominal diameter: 76.1 mm
• Shape: 90° elbow for change of direction
• Connection type: press-fit compatible with stainless steel pressing systems
• Typical applications: heating, cooling, potable water and industrial fluid systems

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and deburring the internal and external edges. Slide the appropriate stainless steel press fitting onto the prepared pipe until the seating mark or stop is reached. Use a compatible pressing tool and the correct jaw size for 76.1 mm stainless steel to perform the press operation, ensuring full compression of the fitting’s press zone. After pressing, visually inspect the joint and verify with pressure testing according to system requirements and local regulations before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Follow manufacturer guidelines for compatible pressing tools and jaws, observe recommended torque and pressing cycles, and perform pressure testing after installation. Store fittings in a dry environment to avoid surface contamination and handle with clean tools to preserve sealing surfaces.
