Copper bypass fitting SANHA 5085 22 mm (model 1508522)

The SANHA copper bypass fitting 5085 22 mm is a purpose-built plumbing component for creating a bypass loop or diversion in copper piping systems. Manufactured from copper, this fitting connects two 22 mm pipe sections to allow controlled redirection of water flow within domestic or commercial water and heating installations. It is intended for use where maintenance, temporary rerouting or hydraulic balancing requires an alternate flow path without major disassembly of the primary piping.

Advantages

This copper bypass fitting provides corrosion-resistant performance typical of copper material and ensures reliable thermal and hydraulic conductivity in potable water and heating circuits. Its 22 mm diameter matches standard copper piping dimensions, enabling straightforward integration with soldered or compression-type connections. The compact design facilitates installation in confined areas and reduces the need for multiple fittings when establishing a bypass loop.

Suitable for

• Domestic hot and cold water distribution systems
• Hydronic heating systems and radiator circuits
• Temporary bypass during pump or valve maintenance
• System balancing and flow diversion applications

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Nominal pipe diameter: 22 mm
• Application: bypass/diversion fitting for copper piping
• Compatible media: potable water and heating fluids
• Connection type: designed for standard copper pipe joining methods

How to use

Prepare the existing 22 mm copper pipes by cutting square and cleaning the pipe ends. Position the bypass fitting to align with the two pipe sections and join using the appropriate copper pipe connection method (soldering, brazing or compatible compression fittings as required by the system design and local codes). Verify correct alignment and secure joints to ensure leak-free operation. After installation, pressurize and check the section for proper flow through the bypass and for any leakage before returning the installation to normal use.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate flux and solder materials rated for potable water when soldering. Follow local regulations and manufacturer guidelines for heating system components. Ensure system is depressurized and drained as necessary before installation; when in doubt consult a qualified plumber or heating engineer to confirm correct installation and compatibility with existing piping and valves.
