KAN-therm push-fit sliding ring 12x2A — plumbing connector 12 mm

KAN-therm push-fit sliding ring 12x2A is a mechanical plumbing connector designed for 12 mm plastic and multilayer pipe systems. The connector allows fast, tool-minimal assembly by pushing a 12x2 pipe into the fitting until it seats against the internal stop. The sliding ring design secures the pipe and creates a durable, pressure-tight joint suitable for potable water and heating circuits where a reliable, solder-free connection is required.

Advantages

The sliding ring design ensures consistent pipe retention and reduces assembly errors by providing an audible and tactile fit. Installation does not require soldering, adhesives or long curing times, which shortens work cycles and enables quick repairs or modifications. The fitting is compatible with common 12 mm pipe materials used in domestic water and heating systems and provides leak-resistant performance when installed according to manufacturer guidance.

Suitable for

• Domestic potable water distribution using 12 mm pipes
• Heating circuits and radiator connections with 12x2 piping
• Repair and retrofit jobs requiring quick, solder-free joints
• Areas where minimal tooling and rapid installation are preferred

Key specifications

• Connector type: push-fit with sliding/retention ring
• Pipe compatibility: 12 mm outer diameter, 2 mm wall thickness
• Intended media: potable water and heating fluids
• Material characteristics: designed for use with common plastic and multilayer pipe types (follow pipe manufacturer compatibility)
• Connection method: mechanical push-in, no soldering or glue required

How to use

Prepare the pipe by cutting squarely and deburring the end to remove sharp edges. Ensure the pipe is pushed fully into the connector until it reaches the internal stop and you feel or hear the engagement of the sliding ring. After assembly, verify alignment and, if applicable, apply system pressure tests according to local codes and standards to confirm the joint is leak-free. For disassembly or replacement, consult the manufacturer's guidance for compatible removal tools and procedures.

Usage recommendations

Use with pipes that meet dimensional and material compatibility for 12x2 systems; avoid forcing misaligned connections. Perform pressure testing after installation and follow applicable plumbing standards and local regulations. Store fittings in a dry environment and protect from mechanical damage prior to installation.
