Brass angled press faucet connector KAN-therm 16 mm to G1/2" (model K-905003)

Brass angled press faucet connector KAN-therm 16 mm to G1/2" (model K-905003) is a press-fit fitting intended for connecting 16 mm copper or multilayer pipes to mixer taps with a G1/2" threaded inlet. The angled design facilitates space-saving installations and precise alignment of the tap outlet. Manufactured in brass, the connector is designed for domestic and light commercial plumbing where a reliable, leak-resistant joint between the supply pipe and tap is required.

Advantages

This angled press connector offers a durable brass construction that resists corrosion and mechanical wear. The press-fit connection provides fast installation without the need for soldering or threaded adapters, reducing labour time and the risk of heat damage to surrounding materials. The integrated G1/2" threaded outlet ensures compatibility with common mixer taps and simplifies the final assembly of the faucet. Its compact angled geometry helps achieve neat finishes in confined spaces and behind sink cabinets.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16 mm copper or multilayer (PE-X/Al/PE) supply pipes to mixer taps with G1/2" inlet
• Domestic bathroom and kitchen faucet installations
• Light commercial plumbing where angled outlet orientation is required
• Retrofit or new-build projects requiring a press-fit, low-heat installation method

When it may not be suitable

This connector is designed specifically for 16 mm nominal pipe sizes; it is not suitable for larger or smaller pipe diameters without appropriate adapters. It also assumes compatibility with press tools and jaws sized for 16 mm fittings; if those tools are not available, alternative connection methods are needed. For applications requiring frequent disassembly, a threaded union or service valve may be preferable to a press-fit permanent joint.

Key specifications

• Material: machined brass body
• Connection type (pipe side): press-fit for 16 mm nominal pipes
• Connection type (outlet): male threaded outlet compatible with G1/2" fittings
• Orientation: angled elbow designed for faucet outlet alignment
• Intended use: potable water supply and general plumbing installations

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm pipe by cutting it square and deburring the inner and outer edges. Slide the correct sized press sleeve or use the integral press design according to the system requirements and insert the pipe fully into the fitting until it seats. Use a compatible press tool and jaw for 16 mm press fittings and perform the press cycle as specified by the press tool and fitting manufacturer. After pressing, verify the mechanical engagement and check that the G1/2" outlet threads are clean; fit the mixer tap and tighten to the manufacturer’s torque recommendations, using suitable sealing tape or washer where required. Finally, pressure-test the installation to confirm there are no leaks.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the supply pipe material and outer diameter match a 16 mm press system
• Ensure you have the correct 16 mm press tool and jaws for reliable crimps
• Verify the tap inlet is G1/2" and that thread sealing requirements are known
• Check whether a permanent press joint is acceptable or if a serviceable connection is preferred

Usage recommendations

Use with a certified 16 mm press tool and appropriate jaws; perform a hydrostatic test after installation. Apply thread sealant or an approved washer to the G1/2" connection as recommended by the faucet manufacturer. Store fittings in a dry environment and avoid excessive mechanical stress to the press joint during installation.
