90° brass elbow GZ ultraPRESS - 20 R1/2" 1009070010

Brass elbow for KAN-therm press systems

This is a 90° elbow with an external thread (male thread) designed for KAN-therm ultraPRESS installation systems. Made of brass (CW617N), it provides a durable and reliable connection in water supply, heating and industrial installations. It is a key element when changing the direction of the pipeline, and its construction guarantees minimal pressure drop.

The elbow is compatible with multilayer and homogeneous pipes, providing great flexibility in installation design. The use of pressing technology, combined with an EPDM O-ring seal, eliminates the risk of leaks and ensures long-lasting tightness. Additionally, the elbow has a Leak Before Press (LBP) function, which allows easy detection of an incorrectly made connection before the installation is put into use.

Construction and application

The elbow is characterized by a combination of a crimp sleeve and a metric external thread. The nominal diameter of the connection is 1/2 inch (15 mm). It is an ideal solution for both professional installers and end customers looking for reliable components for building or modernizing installations.

It can be used in:

• Water supply installations: hot and cold domestic water.
• Central heating installations: in radiator and underfloor heating systems.
• Industrial installations: e.g. compressed air - where high resistance to pressure and temperature is required.
• **Cooling systems.

Crimping profile and safety

For mounting KAN-therm ultraPRESS LBP elbows, it is recommended to use “U” or “TH” crimping profiles (for 26 mm diameter, “C” or “TH” profile). Proper selection of the crimping profile is crucial to ensure the tightness and durability of the connection. The LBP function allows visual control of the correct crimping - in case of incorrect assembly, a visible water leak will occur before the installation is put into use, which allows avoiding more serious problems in the future. The diameter identification ring facilitates quick identification of the fitting size during assembly (diameters 50 and 63 mm are without a ring).
