Press coupling KAN-therm 20 mm K-040201 for press-fit piping connections

KAN-therm press coupling 20 mm K-040201 is a metal press-fit connector engineered for making permanent mechanical joints in plumbing and heating installations. Designed for 20 mm pipelines, this press coupling creates a secure, leak-resistant connection when used with compatible press tools and jaws. It is suitable for domestic and light commercial applications where reliable continuity of water supply or heating circuits is required.

Advantages

The coupling provides a compact and robust joint with high resistance to pressure and temperature variations typical in water and heating systems. Its press-fit design eliminates the need for soldering or threaded connections, reducing installation time and the potential for human error. When installed correctly with the recommended press tool and dies, the fitting forms a consistent mechanical seal designed for long-term service.

Suitable for

• Cold and hot water supply pipelines with 20 mm diameter
• Heating circuit connections and radiators
• Renovation and replacement of existing fittings in residential and light commercial buildings

Key specifications

• Connection type: press-fit coupling for 20 mm pipes
• Material: metal suitable for plumbing and heating applications
• Intended use: permanent mechanical joint for water and heating systems
• Compatibility: use with compatible press tools and corresponding jaws for 20 mm
• Installation method: crimping/pressing to form a mechanical seal

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends by cutting square and deburring the inner and outer edges to ensure full insertion. Slide the coupling onto the prepared pipe, check alignment and insertion depth according to the manufacturer's guidance, and position the press tool jaws around the fitting shoulder. Apply the press cycle with the appropriate jaws for 20 mm until the tool completes the crimp. After pressing, visually inspect the joint for correct deformation and verify the connection is secure before pressurizing the system.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools and jaws that are recommended for 20 mm press fittings, follow KAN-therm installation guidelines for insertion depth and press positions, and pressure-test the system after installation according to local regulations and standards.
