Steel reducing nipple 28/18 1509221026

Steel reducing nipple for KAN-therm Steel systems

This steel reducing nipple is used to connect pipes of different diameters in KAN-therm Steel installations. It allows a transition from a pipe with an outer diameter of 28 mm to a pipe with an outer diameter of 18 mm (DN25 to DN15). It is a key element in the construction or modification of heating and cooling installations where pipe diameter adjustment is required.

Design and application

The reduction is characterized by a design adapted to the pressing technology, which ensures quick and reliable installation without the need for open flame. It is made of carbon steel with a galvanized anti-corrosion coating (Fe/Zn88), which guarantees durability and corrosion resistance. An O-ring seal made of ethylene-propylene-diene monomeric rubber (EDPM) ensures a tight connection. Therefore, the reduction is suitable for internal, pressure-closed heating and cooling installations where reliability and safety are required.

Advantages for the installer and user

• Quick installation: Pressing technology significantly reduces installation time compared to traditional connection methods.
• Safety: No need for open flame eliminates the risk of fire during installation.
• Durability: Steel construction with galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance and long life.
• Tightness: O-ring seal guarantees a tight connection, minimizing the risk of leaks.
• LBP function: It has a controlled leakage LBP (Leak Before Press) function, which indicates an unpressed connection, increasing the safety of the installation.
• Wide temperature range: The ability to operate in a temperature range from -35°C to 135°C makes the reduction universal and can be used in various conditions.
• Pressure resistance: Withstands pressure up to 16 bar, ensuring safety even in demanding installations.
• Compatibility: Possibility of connection with KAN-therm plastic systems expands the scope of application.

Additional information: the length of the reduction is 66 mm, and the connection lengths are 29.5 mm and 36 mm with working lengths of 9.5 mm and 13 mm, respectively. The simple model of the reduction facilitates integration with the remaining elements of the KAN-therm Steel system.
