Where are steel pipe connections used?
Steel is one of the most important materials 
used for the production of water installation elements. It is used in sanitary, chilled water, heating and technical heat installations. Of course, such a wide use of steel pipes does not come out of nowhere. This material has a number of advantages, including:
- tensile, bending and compressive strength, thanks to which it is possible to lay long installations without the use of supporting elements;
- ability to work under heavy mechanical loads;
- tightness preventing the penetration of gases from the external environment into the inside of the pipes;
- resistance to ultraviolet rays;
- resistance to high and low temperatures;
- very low thermal expansion coefficient (0.013 mm/mK).
However, installing steel pipes poses some challenges. One of the most important is the selection of the appropriate connection method. What techniques do assembly teams have at their disposal today?
Steel pipe connection. Welding – is it necessary?
Until relatively recently, the most important and actually the only methods of connecting steel pipes were welding and threading. These techniques are still used, but they involve some disadvantages. The most important thing is certainly the time-consuming nature of the entire process. Welding also requires high qualifications from the workers performing it. In the case of some techniques (primarily gas), the resulting welds do not guarantee the expected quality, while others (such as TIG) are quite poor in terms of performance.
However, it is worth remembering that currently assembly teams can also choose other methods of connecting steel pipes. To be able to use them, however, you must use modern pipe systems and the connecting elements contained in them.

How to quickly install a KAN-therm Steel steel pipe?
In addition to the above-mentioned features, an important advantage of the KAN-therm Steel system is the ability to connect pipes and fittings without welding and threading. It is provided by the "press" technology, which involves pressing connectors using commonly available crimping tools. This has a positive impact not only on the speed and efficiency of assembly work, but also on their safety. By eliminating fire, the risk of fire or explosion is significantly reduced. Protection against possible leaks is provided by the LBP (Leak Before Press) function, which informs about unpressed connections.
The KAN-therm Steel system is an ideal solution for both individual investors and industry. Advisors at Onninen will help you select elements tailored to a specific installation. We will also help you choose the right tools that will be best for assembly work.
