Connector reducer press KAN-therm K-040300 20 x 2 to 16 x 2 with press-fit ring

The KAN-therm Connector reducer press K-040300 20 x 2 to 16 x 2 with press-fit ring is a reducing press fitting designed for press-fit piping systems used in potable water and heating installations. It provides a permanent mechanical joint between a 20 x 2 pipe and a 16 x 2 pipe by means of an integrated press-fit ring, ensuring a leak-resistant connection and maintaining flow continuity when reducing pipe diameter.

Advantages

This press connector reducer is manufactured to fit standard press-fit systems and is suitable for use in professional plumbing and HVAC applications. The integrated press-fit ring simplifies installation by providing a clear crimping zone and a consistent compression profile, reducing the risk of incorrect pressing. The metal body offers mechanical strength and reliable performance under typical operating conditions for potable water and heating circuits.

Suitable for

• Transitioning from 20 x 2 pipe to 16 x 2 pipe in domestic and commercial water supply systems
• Reducing pipe diameter in heating system manifolds and branch lines
• Professional plumbing, renovation and HVAC projects requiring press-fit joints

Key specifications

• Connection type: press-fit reducer with integrated press-fit ring
• Inlet outer diameter and wall thickness: 20 x 2 mm
• Outlet outer diameter and wall thickness: 16 x 2 mm
• Material: metal fitting body suitable for potable water and heating applications
• Joint type: permanent mechanical press connection, leak-resistant when installed correctly

How to use

Prepare the pipes by cutting them square and deburring the inner and outer edges to ensure proper seating. Slide the fitting onto the 20 x 2 pipe and the 16 x 2 pipe until the pipes reach the stop. Verify the position of the integrated press-fit ring as indicated by the manufacturer. Use a compatible press tool and jaw sized for the fitting to perform the pressing operation according to the press tool manufacturer's instructions. After pressing, visually inspect the crimped joint for complete compression and correct alignment.

Usage recommendations

Use only certified press tools and jaws compatible with KAN-therm press fittings and follow local regulations and installation standards. Ensure system flushing and pressure testing according to project requirements after installation. Avoid exposing the fitting to stresses outside normal operating conditions and select the correct fitting orientation for flow and access during future maintenance.
