KAN-therm 9014.350 Compression Fitting 18x2 mm to G1/2" Female Thread

The KAN-therm 9014.350 compression fitting is a high-quality connector designed for integrating 18x2 mm pipes into heating and plumbing systems. This component facilitates a secure transition to a G1/2" female thread, ensuring a reliable and leak-proof interface for various hydraulic installations. Built with precision, this fitting supports the integrity of professional piping networks by providing a robust connection that withstands the demands of modern fluid distribution systems.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this compression fitting is its ability to create a durable, mechanical seal without the need for specialized welding or soldering tools. Its design prioritizes ease of installation, allowing for efficient assembly in tight spaces or complex piping layouts. The materials used in its construction offer excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress, ensuring long-term operational stability and minimizing the risk of system failures in both heating and water supply applications.

Suitable for

• Connecting 18x2 mm pipes to G1/2" female threaded components
• Residential and commercial heating system installations
• Potable water supply and plumbing infrastructure
• Retrofitting or extending existing hydraulic piping networks

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is specifically engineered for 18x2 mm pipes and will not provide a secure connection for pipes with different diameters or wall thicknesses. It is also not intended for use in high-pressure steam systems or applications involving aggressive chemical substances that may degrade the sealing materials.

Key specifications

• Pipe compatibility: 18x2 mm
• Connection type: Compression fitting to G1/2" female thread
• Application: Heating and plumbing systems
• Material: Corrosion-resistant alloy

How to use

To install the fitting, ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and square to the axis. Slide the nut and the compression ring onto the pipe. Insert the pipe into the fitting body until it reaches the stop. Tighten the nut onto the fitting body using an appropriate wrench. The compression ring will deform against the pipe and the fitting seat, creating a permanent, leak-tight seal. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the threads or the pipe structure.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter and wall thickness of your existing piping
• Ensure the target component features a standard G1/2" male thread
• Confirm the system pressure and temperature ratings are within the fitting's operational limits
• Check if additional pipe support or insulation is required for your specific installation

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the pipe surface for scratches or debris before assembly to ensure the compression seal remains airtight. It is recommended to use a calibrated wrench to achieve the correct torque during installation.
