Copper Press Elbow 45° SANHA 22 mm (model 11004122)

SANHA Copper Press Elbow 45° for 22 mm pipes is a press-fit fitting engineered for gas systems. The 45-degree elbow provides a compact, smooth directional change in copper gas lines without the need for soldering. It is manufactured to work with standard 22 mm copper pipes and compatible press tools and jaws, offering a professional, permanent connection suitable for both residential and commercial installations where a reliable, leak-tight joint is required.

Advantages

The press elbow enables fast, reproducible installations with uniform joints and reduced installation time compared with soldered connections. Being designed specifically for gas applications, the fitting meets the mechanical requirements for secure press connections on copper piping. Its 45° geometry allows for space-saving routing and easier alignment of gas lines in confined areas. The solder-free installation also minimizes fire risk and eliminates the need for flame-based tools on site.

Suitable for

• Residential gas pipe routing and branch changes
• Commercial gas installations in buildings and facilities
• Situations requiring flameless, press-fit connections for safety
• Retrofit projects where compact directional changes are necessary

Key specifications

• Material: Bronze/brass alloy body compatible with copper piping
• Connection type: Press-fit designed for use with compatible press tools and jaws
• Angle: 45° directional change
• Nominal diameter: 22 mm
• Application: Gas systems (suitable for natural gas and similar gaseous fuels where press fittings are approved)
• Installation: Solder-free press connection for permanent joints

How to use

Ensure the copper pipe end is cut square, deburred and cleaned before assembly. Mark the insertion depth and slide the elbow onto the pipe until the stop is reached. Select a press tool and jaw compatible with 22 mm press fittings and the fitting manufacturer’s recommendations. Position the jaw over the press sleeve and activate the press cycle until the tool completes the operation. Confirm the press quality visually and, where applicable, perform a pressure or leak test in accordance with local gas installation codes and standards.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools and jaws approved by the fitting manufacturer and follow local regulations and gas safety standards when installing this 45° copper press elbow. Carry out post-installation leak testing and routine inspections as required for gas systems.
