Copper Bypass SANHA 5085 15 mm (model 1508515)

Copper Bypass SANHA 5085 15 mm is a prefabricated copper fitting designed to create bypass lines or alternative flow paths in plumbing and heating systems. Constructed from corrosion-resistant copper, this bypass fitting provides a reliable, conductive connection for potable water and heating circuits. It is sized for use with 15 mm copper pipework and is intended to simplify installation of maintenance isolation, balancing circuits, or temporary rerouting of flow without extensive pipework modifications.

Advantages

The SANHA 5085 bypass offers good corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity inherent to copper materials, ensuring long-term performance in potable water and heating applications. Its prefabricated design reduces installation time compared with fabricating custom bypasses on-site and yields consistent joint quality. The compact 15 mm size fits standard small-diameter copper systems and allows straightforward integration with existing copper pipelines.

Suitable for

• Creating bypass lines in domestic and commercial plumbing
• Temporary rerouting of flow during maintenance or repairs
• Balancing heating circuits and radiators
• Connections in potable water systems where copper pipework is used

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Nominal diameter: 15 mm
• Application: Bypass/alternative flow path for plumbing and heating systems
• Compatible with: 15 mm copper pipework and standard copper joining methods (soldering, brazing, or approved mechanical joints)
• Corrosion resistance suitable for potable water and heating media

How to use

Prepare the 15 mm copper pipe ends by cutting square and deburring to ensure clean joints. Align the bypass fitting with the existing copper line and join using an appropriate method for copper fittings—soldering (capillary), brazing, or an approved mechanical coupling—following relevant plumbing codes and safety practices. Ensure joints are leak-tested after installation and purge air from the system before returning to normal operation.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible flux and solder or brazing materials specified for potable water and heating systems. Verify system materials and operating temperatures to confirm copper is suitable. For installations involving differing metals, include dielectric isolation where required to prevent galvanic corrosion. If uncertain about joining methods or system requirements, consult a qualified plumber or heating engineer.
