Copper elbow SANHA 45° 15 mm model 5041 (MPN 1504115)

The SANHA copper 45° elbow model 5041 with 15 mm nominal diameter is a plumbing fitting designed to change the direction of 15 mm copper piping by 45 degrees. Intended for use in heating, cooling and potable water systems, this elbow provides a compact directional change where a gradual angle is required. The fitting is manufactured from copper to match standard copper tube materials and is suitable for installation by soldering or other joining methods compatible with 15 mm copper tubes.

Advantages

The copper construction ensures good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance appropriate for many plumbing applications. Its 45° angle gives more gradual flow redirection compared with a 90° bend, reducing flow resistance and allowing more flexible routing in confined spaces. The 15 mm nominal diameter matches common residential and light-commercial copper piping, simplifying replacement and retrofit tasks.

Suitable for

• Domestic hot and cold water distribution
• Central heating and radiator connections
• Cooling circuits and HVAC piping
• Tight or compact installations where a 45° change of direction is needed

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Angle: 45°
• Nominal diameter: 15 mm
• Compatibility: Designed for 15 mm copper tubing and joining by soldering or equivalent compatible methods
• Typical applications: Heating, cooling, potable water systems

How to use

Prepare the copper pipes by cutting squarely to length and deburring the ends. Clean the fitting and tube ends to remove oxides and apply appropriate flux if soldering. Insert the tube fully into the fitting, then apply heat and solder according to local codes and manufacturer guidelines until a continuous solder fillet is formed. If using an alternative compatible joining method, follow the corresponding preparation and assembly steps for a reliable seal. Ensure the joint is allowed to cool and inspect for a continuous connection before pressurizing the system.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment when soldering, follow local plumbing and building codes, and verify compatibility of solder, flux or joining methods with potable water systems where applicable. For best results, use fittings and pipe of the same material and nominal size.
