Brass threaded elbow KAN-therm 1" male-female (GZ-GW) 9012.28

KAN-therm brass threaded elbow 1" male-female (GZ-GW) model 9012.28 is a 90° plumbing fitting designed to change direction in pipe runs while providing a secure threaded connection. Manufactured from brass, the elbow offers corrosion resistance and sufficient mechanical strength for potable water and heating systems that use threaded joints. One end has a male thread and the other a female thread, enabling direct connection to compatible threaded pipes or components and allowing compact routing in confined spaces.

Advantages

The brass construction ensures durability and resistance to corrosion and scale buildup in typical water and heating applications. Threaded male-female connection simplifies installation and disassembly without the need for soldering or compression fittings. Its compact 90° geometry reduces the space required for directional changes and helps maintain flow efficiency in short-radius turns. The part is compatible with common threaded piping systems where a standard 1" connection is specified.

Suitable for

• Potable water supply installations with 1" threaded connections
• Heating system circuits where a 90° threaded elbow is required
• Repair or retrofit works replacing threaded fittings in confined spaces
• Connecting equipment or valves with matching 1" male or female threads

Key specifications

• Material: brass for corrosion resistance and mechanical strength
• Angle: 90° elbow for directional change
• Connection types: one male (external) threaded end and one female (internal) threaded end
• Nominal size: 1" threaded connections
• Application: suitable for water and heating installations using threaded joints

How to use

Verify that connected pipes and components use compatible 1" threads and are clean and free of debris. Apply appropriate thread sealant such as PTFE tape or approved pipe joint compound to the male thread following the sealant manufacturer's instructions. Thread the elbow into the mating component by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with an appropriate wrench until secure, taking care not to over-tighten which can damage threads or distort the fitting. For best results, support adjacent pipes to avoid undue stress on the fitting and follow system-specific pressure and temperature limits.

Usage recommendations

Use the elbow in systems within the manufacturer's stated temperature and pressure ranges for brass fittings; avoid exposure to highly aggressive chemicals or environments that may accelerate dezincification. When installing in potable water systems, follow local plumbing codes and water quality guidance. Periodically inspect threaded joints for leaks and re-tighten or replace sealant as needed during maintenance.
