Copper 45° elbow fitting SANHA 5040 18 mm (model 1504018)

SANHA 5040 is a 45° copper elbow fitting with an 18 mm diameter designed for changing pipe direction in copper plumbing and heating systems. The compact elbow provides a reliable angled joint for potable water, central heating and refrigeration lines where 18 mm copper connections are required. Constructed from copper, this fitting is intended for soldering or capillary joining methods common in plumbing and HVAC installations and fits standard 18 mm copper tubing.

Advantages

The copper construction ensures good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance appropriate for potable water and heating applications. The 45° angle allows smoother directional changes with reduced flow disturbance compared with sharper angles. Its compact form saves space in tight installations and integrates with standard copper piping, facilitating straightforward installation and repair work.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution in residential and commercial buildings
• Central heating systems and radiators
• Refrigeration and air conditioning lines using copper tubing
• Plumbing repairs, retrofits and new copper piping installations

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Angle: 45°
• Connection size: 18 mm (compatible with standard 18 mm copper tubing)
• Application: Suitable for potable water, heating and refrigeration systems
• Form factor: Compact elbow for space-constrained routing

How to use

Prepare the copper tubing by cutting squarely and removing burrs. Clean the fitting and pipe ends to remove oxidation and contaminants before joining. Use an appropriate soldering or capillary brazing technique consistent with the copper fitting and pipe specifications, following local codes and manufacturer guidance for flux and solder selection. Allow joints to cool and inspect for continuity and leaks; pressure-test the system as required before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use this 45° copper elbow in systems designed for copper tubing of the same nominal size. Ensure compatibility with the chosen joining method (soldering/brazing) and apply correct flux and solder types for potable water or heating applications. When routing close to combustible materials, maintain required clearances and follow local safety regulations during installation and testing.
