KAN-therm connector 32x32 with press-fit ring K-900203 – plumbing pipe fitting

KAN-therm connector 32x32 with press-fit ring K-900203 is a plumbing pipe fitting designed for joining two 32 mm pipes using a crimped/press connection. It is produced by KAN-therm for use in potable water and heating systems where compatible plastic or metal piping is installed. The integrated press-fit ring provides a secure mechanical joint intended to resist leakages and ensure long-term performance in both residential and commercial plumbing applications.

Advantages

The connector allows quick and reliable joining of 32×32 pipes without the need for threaded connections or welding. The press-fit ring ensures a uniform mechanical compression around the pipe, reducing the likelihood of leaks and minimizing installation time. The fitting is suitable for systems that require corrosion-resistant components and stable hydraulic performance. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for installations in confined spaces and typical plumbing layouts.

Suitable for

• Joining 32 mm plastic-to-plastic pipe connections
• Connecting 32 mm plastic to compatible metal pipes where press-fit joints are appropriate
• Potable water distribution systems in residential buildings
• Heating and radiator return/supply lines in domestic or small commercial installations
• Repair or retrofit work where a crimped/press connection is preferred

Key specifications

• Pipe size compatibility: 32 mm × 32 mm
• Connection type: crimped/press-fit with dedicated press ring
• Intended media: potable water and heating fluids
• Material properties: corrosion-resistant construction suitable for plumbing systems (compatible with standard plastic and metal pipe materials)
• Application environments: residential and light commercial plumbing and heating systems

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends by cutting square and deburring to ensure smooth insertion. Slide the dedicated press-fit ring onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the connector until it seats, and position the ring according to the manufacturer’s guidance. Use an appropriate press/crimp tool matched to the ring and fitting dimensions to complete the mechanical compression, creating a watertight seal. After pressing, inspect the joint visually and perform pressure testing as required by local codes or project specifications.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility of pipe material and wall thickness with the connector before installation. Use a calibrated press tool sized for 32 mm press rings and follow applicable plumbing standards for potable water and heating systems. Perform a pressure test after installation and replace any damaged or improperly pressed fittings.
