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 installations, as well as in chilled water, heating and technical heat installations. Of course, such a wide use of steel pipes does not come from nowhere. This material has a number of advantages, which include primarily:
- tensile, bending and compressive strength, which makes it possible to install long installations without using supporting elements;
- ability to work under high mechanical loads;
- tightness preventing the penetration of gases from the external environment into the interior of the pipes;
- resistance to ultraviolet rays;
- resistance to high and low temperatures;
- very low coefficient of thermal expansion (0.013 mm/mK).
However, installing steel pipes is associated with certain challenges. One of the most serious is selecting the right connection method. What techniques do installation teams have at their disposal today?
Steel Pipe Connection. Welding – Is It Necessary?
Until relatively recently, the most important and practically the only methods of connecting steel pipes were welding and threading. These techniques are still used, but they are associated with certain inconveniences. The most important is certainly the time-consuming nature of the entire process. Welding also requires high qualifications from the employees performing it. In the case of some techniques (mainly gas), the welds created in this way do not guarantee the expected quality, while others (such as TIG) are quite poor in terms of efficiency.
It is worth remembering, however, that currently assembly teams can also choose other methods of connecting steel pipes. In order to use them, however, modern pipe systems and the connecting elements contained in them must be used.

- pneumatic installations;
- installations transporting gases and technical oils;
- other industrial installations.
How to quickly install a KAN-therm 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 connectors without welding and threading. This is ensured by the "press" technology, which involves pressing the connectors using generally available press tools. This has a positive effect 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 choose the elements that are adapted to a specific installation. We will also help you choose the right tools that will work best during assembly work.
