KAN-therm press elbow 20 mm K-041809 — press-fit plumbing fitting, 90°

KAN-therm press elbow 20 mm K-041809 — press-fit plumbing fitting, 90° is a 90-degree press-fit elbow designed to connect 20 mm copper or suitable press-system pipes in press connection installations. Manufactured by KAN-therm for use in heating and potable water systems, the fitting creates a mechanical, solder-free joint when installed with compatible press tools and press rings. The compact 90° geometry allows direction changes in confined spaces while maintaining a stable, pressure-tight connection when pressed correctly.

Advantages

The press elbow enables fast, repeatable connections without open flame or soldering, reducing installation time and fire risk on site. Its geometry and material compatibility provide reliable sealing when used with approved press profiles and tools. The fitting is suitable for situations requiring a durable mechanical joint that resists pressure and typical operating temperatures of heating and domestic water systems. Using press technology minimizes the need for skilled soldering and allows straightforward maintenance and replacement of sections.

Suitable for

• Connecting 20 mm pipes in domestic potable water installations
• Routing and changing direction in heating system piping
• Applications where flame-free press-fit joints are preferred or mandated
• Renovation projects with limited access or tight installation spaces

Key specifications

• Connection type: 90° press-fit elbow for 20 mm pipe
• Intended media: potable water and heating fluids
• Installation method: mechanical press connection using compatible press tools and press rings
• Shape: 90-degree elbow for direction change
• Suitable for confined spaces due to compact geometry

How to use

Prepare the pipe end by cutting squarely and deburring the inner and outer edges to ensure correct fit. Slide the appropriate press ring onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the fitting until the stop, and position the press tool over the joint according to the press tool manufacturer's instructions. Operate the press tool to complete the mechanical connection. Verify the pressed joint visually and, where required, perform a pressure test on the installed system to confirm leak-tightness before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use only press rings and press tools compatible with KAN-therm press fittings and follow the tool manufacturer's guidelines and local plumbing codes. Avoid using damaged fittings or pipes, and complete a pressure test after installation. For installations carrying potable water, observe any flushing and disinfection requirements applicable in your jurisdiction.
