Compression Fitting KAN-therm 18x2.5 to 14x2 PPSU model 9019.27

The KAN-therm Compression Fitting 18x2.5 to 14x2 PPSU model 9019.27 is a mechanical connector made from PPSU polymer for joining pipes with outer diameters 18x2.5 mm and 14x2 mm. It is engineered to create a secure, leak-resistant compression joint for plumbing and heating installations. Designed for use where compatibility with PPSU materials and reliable compression connections are required, the fitting is suitable for potable water and central heating circuits and offers straightforward installation without the need for heat or solvent welding.

Advantages

The PPSU construction provides high mechanical strength, good chemical resistance and long-term dimensional stability at operational temperatures typical of domestic plumbing and heating systems. The compression design enables a fast, reversible connection that does not require special tools beyond standard pipe cutting and insertion instruments. The fitting’s geometry ensures consistent sealing performance and reduced risk of joint failure when installed according to guidelines.

Suitable for

• Connecting 18x2.5 mm to 14x2 mm PPSU or compatible plastic pipes in plumbing systems
• Domestic potable water supply installations
• Central heating circuits and radiator connections within recommended temperature and pressure ranges
• Repair or modification work where a mechanical, non-permanent joint is preferred

Key specifications

• Material: PPSU (polyphenylsulfone) for the fitting body
• Pipe compatibility: outer diameters 18x2.5 mm and 14x2 mm
• Connection type: compression fitting for mechanical sealing
• Application: potable water and central heating systems
• Installation: push-in and compress method; no thermal welding required

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting squarely and deburring the internal and external edges. Ensure pipes are clean and free of grease or debris. Slide the compression components onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the fitting until it seats against the stop, then tighten the compression nut or ring according to the manufacturer’s recommended torque or hand-tightening procedure. Verify the seal visually and perform a pressure test of the system following local codes and regulations before putting the installation into service.

Usage recommendations

Use only pipes and accessory parts compatible with PPSU materials and of the specified outer diameters. Do not exceed the operating temperature and pressure limits for the piping system. Follow local plumbing standards and the manufacturer’s detailed instructions for torque and installation sequence to ensure leak-free performance.
