90° elbow male thread Steel - 22 R3/4" 1509070005

Steel fitting elbow – reliability and durability

This is a 90° elbow with an external thread (male thread) made of galvanized steel, designed for creating connections in water, heating and technological installations. Its construction based on the pressing technology, combined with an O-ring seal, guarantees tightness and long-term operation. The elbow is an element of the KAN-therm Steel system, valued for its high-quality materials and ease of installation.

Construction and application

The elbow has a BSPT-R (tapered) threaded connection on one side and a crimp socket on the other. This allows connecting pipes of different diameters and with other installation elements equipped with a thread or prepared for pressing. Thanks to the 90-degree angle, the elbow allows changing the direction of the pipeline in a compact and aesthetic way. It is ideal for surface-mounted installations, where both functionality and appearance are important.

LBP function and connection safety

A key feature of this elbow is the LBP (Leak Before Press) function, which means controlled leakage before pressing. This means that an unpressed connection is leak-proof, which makes it easier to identify errors during assembly and leak tests. This allows you to avoid problems with leaks in the future and ensure safe operation of the installation. The O-ring seal made of EPDM further increases the reliability of operation.

Advantages for the installer:

• Fast installation: Pressing technology eliminates the need for welding or threading, reducing working time.
• Leakage control: The LBP function makes it easier to detect leaky connections during installation.
• Durability: Galvanized steel provides corrosion resistance and long service life of the installation.
• Versatility: Possibility of connection with various elements of the KAN-therm Steel system and other components with appropriate parameters.

Benefits for the end user:

• Safety: Tight connections minimize the risk of leaks and property damage.
• Reliability: Robust construction guarantees long-term operation of the installation without the need for frequent repairs.
• Aesthetics: The compact shape of the elbow provides a neat appearance of the surface-mounted installation.
• Corrosion resistance: The zinc coating protects against external factors, ensuring the longevity of the heating or water system.
