Copper Elbow SANHA 90° 18 mm model 5090 (MPN 1509018)

Copper Elbow SANHA 90° 18 mm model 5090 is a right-angle copper fitting designed to connect two copper pipes with an 18 mm nominal diameter. The fitting creates a compact 90° change of direction in plumbing, heating and refrigeration pipe runs and is manufactured by SANHA to meet requirements for reliability and compatibility with common copper piping systems. It is intended for use where a soldered or press connection to compatible system components is required.

Advantages

The elbow is manufactured from copper to provide good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance in potable water and heating environments. Its 90° design allows for space-saving routing of pipework and simplifies changes of direction without additional tubing bends. The fitting is compatible with standard 18 mm copper piping and with connection methods commonly used in plumbing and HVAC installations, enabling straightforward integration into existing systems.

Suitable for

• Residential and commercial potable water supply lines
• Heating circuits and radiator connections
• Refrigeration and cooling system pipework
• Tight or compact pipe-routing where a right-angle connection is required

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Nominal diameter: 18 mm
• Connection method: suitable for soldered or compatible press connections
• Typical applications: plumbing, heating, refrigeration

How to use

Prepare copper pipes by cutting square, deburring and cleaning the pipe ends to ensure a secure joint. Select the appropriate joining method—soldering or a compatible press tool—according to system requirements and local regulations. Position the elbow onto the prepared pipe ends, ensure correct alignment at 90°, and perform the jointing procedure following the tool or soldering materials manufacturer instructions. After installation, inspect joints for correct seating and, if applicable, perform a pressure test of the circuit before putting the system into regular operation.

Usage recommendations

Use flux and solder rated for potable water systems when soldering. Follow manufacturer guidance for press fittings and use calibrated press tools and jaws sized for 18 mm copper components. Observe local plumbing codes and perform pressure testing after installation to verify leak-free joints.
