KAN-therm elbow with PRESS ring 25 mm to male thread 3/4" (K-080160)

The KAN-therm elbow with PRESS ring 25 mm to male thread 3/4" is a 90° fitting designed to join 25 mm plastic or multilayer pipes with a 3/4" male threaded component. Intended for use in PRESS installation systems, this elbow creates a sealed mechanical connection between press-fit piping and threaded fixtures. It is suitable for heating systems, potable water distribution and general plumbing where a combination of press technology and threaded connections is required.

Advantages

The fitting offers a secure press-type joint that eliminates the need for soldering or solvent welding, reducing installation time and the risk of heat-related damage to pipes and surrounding materials. The integrated PRESS ring ensures consistent compression and a durable seal when installed with compatible pressing tools. Its 90° angle facilitates directional changes in confined spaces and provides a reliable transition from press-fit piping to a threaded outlet.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial central heating circuits
• Potable water supply lines
• Connections to boilers, valves and fixtures with 3/4" male thread
• Plumbing runs requiring a press-to-thread transition in confined installations

Key specifications

• Fitting type: 90° elbow with press connection and male threaded outlet
• Pipe connection diameter: 25 mm for plastic or multilayer pipes
• Thread size: 3/4" male thread
• Connection method: PRESS mechanical pressing for pipe side and threaded screw connection for outlet
• Material compatibility: suitable for common plastic and multilayer piping systems used in heating and potable water applications

How to use

Prepare the 25 mm pipe end by cutting squarely and deburring the inner and outer edges. Slide the PRESS ring into position or ensure the ring is correctly placed on the fitting according to the press system instructions. Insert the pipe fully into the press connection until it seats against the shoulder. Use a compatible pressing tool and jaw sized for 25 mm press fittings to execute the press operation, achieving a permanent mechanical seal. Thread the 3/4" male outlet into the mating female thread and apply appropriate thread sealing (such as PTFE tape or approved sealant) only where the installation standard requires it. Verify alignment and system integrity before restoring pressure.

Usage recommendations

Use certified pressing tools and jaws compatible with KAN-therm press fittings to ensure correct compression. Follow local regulations and manufacturer guidelines for potable water and heating installations, including pressure testing after installation. Avoid exposure to open flame near press fittings during installation to preserve the integrity of plastic pipes and seals.
