Pipe fitting KAN-therm connector 28 mm with internal Rp1 thread (model 6240124)

KAN-therm connector 28 mm with internal Rp1 thread (model 6240124) is a compact pipe fitting designed to provide a reliable threaded transition between 28 mm plastic or metal pipes and components with a 1-inch Rp female connection. Intended for use in plumbing and heating systems, this connector creates a secure mechanical and hydraulic connection where a standard 28 mm line must interface with an internal Rp1 threaded part. The construction allows for straightforward integration into potable water, heating and general plumbing installations requiring a reduced footprint coupling.

Advantages

The connector offers a compact design that simplifies transitions between metric pipework and components with internal Rp1 threads. Its construction ensures a stable, leak-resistant joint when installed according to recommendations and combined with appropriate sealing materials. The product is compatible with a range of plastic and metal pipe materials commonly used in heating and potable water systems, enabling flexible use across different installation scenarios.

Suitable for

• Transitioning 28 mm pipe runs to components with internal Rp1 (female) threads
• Heating system connections where a threaded endpoint is required
• Potable water installations needing a compact threaded coupling
• Plumbing repair or retrofit work that combines plastic and metal pipework

Key specifications

• Nominal pipe size: 28 mm
• Thread type: internal Rp1 (female)
• Application areas: heating, potable water, general plumbing
• Function: threaded transition coupling between pipe and Rp1 internal connection

How to use

Prepare the 28 mm pipe end by cutting square and deburring to ensure a clean contact surface. Insert and secure the connector to the pipe according to the pipe system type and the manufacturer's installation method (e.g., press-fit, mechanical fastening or appropriate joining technique). Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the internal Rp1 thread before engaging the mating external thread to ensure a leak-tight connection. Tighten to the recommended torque for the mating component while avoiding over-torquing that could damage threads or mating parts.

Usage recommendations

Verify material compatibility between the connector, pipe, and mating components; use approved thread sealants for potable water systems; follow local plumbing codes and the system manufacturer's installation instructions to ensure safe and durable operation.
