KAN-therm Steel Press Reducing Nipple 54×22 mm 6240289

The KAN-therm Steel Press Reducing Nipple 54×22 mm is a steel press-fit fitting designed to join two pipes of different diameters in plumbing and heating systems. Engineered for press installation, the reducing nipple creates a permanent mechanical connection between a 54 mm pipe and a 22 mm pipe, providing a compact transition that maintains flow integrity and system pressure. The product is suitable for water, heating circuits and other non-aggressive media where steel press fittings are applicable.

Advantages

Made from steel for mechanical strength and dimensional stability, this reducing nipple is intended for reliable press connections that reduce installation time compared with traditional threaded or welded joints. The press design forms a leak-resistant joint when installed with compatible press tools and jaws. Its compact shape minimizes space requirements at change-of-size points and supports straightforward integration into existing pipe layouts.

Suitable for

• Residential and commercial plumbing systems where pipe size reduction is needed
• Central heating and hydronic systems using steel press fittings
• Renovation projects requiring compact, reliable transitions between different pipe diameters
• Applications with potable water and non-aggressive heating media (where steel fittings are permitted)

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Connection type: press-fit
• Nominal diameters: 54 mm to 22 mm reduction
• Application: plumbing and heating systems
• Designed for permanent mechanical joints

How to use

Prepare the pipes by cutting squarely and deburring the inner and outer edges to ensure proper seating. Slide the reducing nipple into the prepared pipe ends until full engagement is reached. Use a compatible press tool and correctly sized press jaws for the 54 mm and 22 mm ends, and perform the press operation according to the press tool manufacturer's instructions. After pressing, verify the integrity of the joint visually and, where applicable, perform pressure testing of the system in line with local codes and project requirements.

Usage recommendations

Store fittings in a dry, clean environment to prevent surface corrosion prior to installation. Use only KAN-therm approved or otherwise compatible press tools and jaws sized for the specified diameters. Follow applicable standards and local regulations for installation, pressure testing and system commissioning. For installations involving aggressive media or special water chemistry, confirm material compatibility before use.
