KAN-therm press fitting for pipes 16 mm x 1/2" – model 9012.00N

The KAN-therm press fitting for pipes 16 mm x 1/2" – model 9012.00N is a connector designed to join a 16 mm plastic or metal pipe to a 1/2" threaded fitting using a press-style joint. Intended for plumbing and heating systems, this fitting provides a secure mechanical connection suitable for potable water and central heating installations where a fast, sealed connection is required. It is used with compatible press tools and jaws for reliable installation with minimal downtime.

Advantages

This press fitting offers a consistent, leak-resistant joint when installed with the correct press tool and jaw. The design reduces assembly time compared with traditional soldering or threaded techniques and eliminates the need for additional sealing materials on the press connection. Its form factor allows integration between 16 mm pipework and standard 1/2" threaded components, simplifying transitions in a range of plumbing and heating layouts.

Suitable for

• Domestic potable water distribution systems
• Central heating circuits and radiators
• Connection of 16 mm pipe runs to 1/2" threaded valves or fittings
• Renovation projects where quick, reliable joints are required

Key specifications

• Pipe size (connection): 16 mm
• Threaded connection size: 1/2"
• Connection method: press-fitting (requires compatible press tool and jaws)
• Application: potable water and central heating systems
• Installation orientation: inline adapter between pipe and threaded component

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm pipe by cutting squarely and deburring the end. Slide the pipe fully into the fitting until the stop is reached, ensuring proper engagement with any internal sealing element. Position the appropriate press jaw around the fitting at the designated pressing zone and actuate the compatible press tool according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. After pressing, verify the pressed connection visually and, where applicable, perform a pressure test of the system before putting it into service.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools and jaws approved for the KAN-therm system and matching the fitting dimensions. Confirm material compatibility (pipe type and fitting material) and observe local regulations and standards for potable water and heating installations. Perform a pressure test after installation and inspect joints periodically as part of routine system maintenance.
