90° elbow male thread Inox - 18 R1/2" 1609070002

Stainless steel elbow for press-fitting systems

This is a 90° elbow with an external gas thread (GZ) made of stainless steel 316L, designed to create durable and leak-proof connections in installations. It is a component of the KAN-therm Inox system, which is characterized by high corrosion resistance and a wide range of applications. This fitting is ideal for heating installations, domestic hot water, compressed air, and other media requiring high hygiene and reliability.

The elbow is designed to connect pipes with a diameter of 18 mm with a threaded connection of R1/2 inch. Made of high-quality stainless steel 316L, it ensures long-term operation even in harsh conditions. The EPDM rubber O-ring seal guarantees a leak-proof connection.

Design and application

The elbow is designed for press-fitting installation, which significantly speeds up the installation process and eliminates the risk of errors resulting from traditional connection methods. The press-fitting technology ensures a secure and durable connection without the need for welding or threading. The LBP (Leak Before Press) controlled leakage function further increases installation safety – in the event of incorrect pressing, a medium leak signals the problem before the installation is put into use.

Thanks to its design and material, the elbow works perfectly in:

• Central heating installations
• Domestic hot water installations
• Chilling installations
• Compressed air installations
• Solar installations
• Industrial installations
• Applications requiring high process hygiene (e.g., food industry, pharmaceutical industry)

Advantages and benefits

• Durability and corrosion resistance: Made of stainless steel 316L guarantees long-term operation even in an aggressive environment.
• Fast and reliable installation: Press-fitting technology eliminates the need for welding and threading, reducing installation time and minimizing the risk of errors.
• Safety: The LBP controlled leakage function allows for quick detection of any leaks during installation.
• Versatility: Can be used in various types of installations and with different media.
• Aesthetic appearance: Stainless steel provides an elegant look of the installation, especially in surface-mounted installations.
• Tightness: The EPDM rubber O-ring seal provides a reliable connection seal.
• Compatibility: The elbow is compatible with other elements of the KAN-therm Inox system, allowing for the creation of complex installations.
