KAN-therm 9014.360 Compression Fitting 18x2.5 mm with G1/2" Female Thread

The KAN-therm 9014.360 compression fitting is a high-quality connector engineered for integrating 18x2.5 mm pipes into heating and plumbing systems featuring a G1/2" female thread. This component is designed to provide a robust and reliable interface, ensuring that hydraulic circuits remain secure and leak-proof under standard operating conditions. Its construction focuses on durability and ease of integration, making it a standard choice for professionals installing modern piping infrastructure.

Advantages

This compression fitting stands out due to its precise manufacturing standards which facilitate a straightforward installation process without the need for specialized welding or soldering tools. The design ensures a consistent, tight seal that maintains its integrity over time, effectively reducing the risk of maintenance issues in concealed or hard-to-reach piping sections. By utilizing high-grade materials, the fitting offers excellent resistance to the mechanical stresses typically found in residential and commercial water distribution networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting 18x2.5 mm pipes to G1/2" threaded components
• Residential heating system installations
• Potable water plumbing networks
• Hydraulic system repairs and extensions

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use with pipe materials or dimensions that do not match the specified 18x2.5 mm standard. It should also be avoided in industrial environments involving highly corrosive chemicals or extreme pressure levels that exceed the manufacturer's rated specifications for standard plumbing components.

Key specifications

• Pipe diameter compatibility: 18x2.5 mm
• Thread type: G1/2" female thread
• Connection method: Compression fitting
• Application: Heating and plumbing systems

How to use

To install the fitting, ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and deburred to prevent damage to the internal sealing elements. Slide the nut and the compression ring onto the pipe, then insert the pipe fully into the fitting body. Tighten the nut onto the thread by hand until firm, then use a suitable wrench to apply the final tightening torque. Avoid overtightening, as this may compromise the integrity of the compression seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter and wall thickness of your existing piping
• Ensure the mating component features a compatible G1/2" male thread
• Check that the system pressure and temperature remain within the rated limits
• Confirm that you have the appropriate tools for tightening the compression nut

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the connection for leaks after the initial pressurization of the system. It is recommended to perform a pressure test before closing any wall cavities or finishing surfaces to ensure the long-term reliability of the installation.
