Copper 90° Plumbing Elbow SANHA 5092 18 mm

The SANHA Copper 90° Plumbing Elbow 18 mm is a precision-formed copper fitting designed to change the direction of copper pipe runs by 90 degrees in potable water and heating systems. Manufactured from copper, this elbow provides a compact solution for tight turns in piping layouts where reliable flow direction and leak-tight connections are required. Compatible with standard soldering and other approved joining methods for copper pipework, it is suitable for both new installations and repair work in residential and light commercial environments.

Advantages

This 90° copper elbow combines corrosion-resistant copper material with a smooth internal bore to minimise flow disruption and sediment accumulation. The 18 mm diameter conforms to common copper pipe sizes used in domestic plumbing and heating, offering straightforward integration with existing systems. Its compact bend reduces the need for additional fittings and helps maintain a neat installation where space is limited. The fitting is manufactured to industry-relevant standards for dimensional accuracy and material quality.

Suitable for

• Changing pipe direction in cold and hot potable water distribution
• Redirecting flow in central heating and radiator connections
• Compact pipe runs in kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms
• Routine repair and replacement of damaged copper pipe bends

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Angle: 90°
• Nominal diameter: 18 mm
• Connection method: Suitable for soldering and compatible copper joining techniques
• Application: Potable water and heating installations

How to use

Prepare the copper pipe ends by cutting square and deburring to ensure full insertion. Clean the joint surfaces with an appropriate flux and apply solder or use the approved joining method specific to the installation. Assemble the elbow onto the pipes, ensure correct orientation for the 90° change, and complete the joint following standard practices for soldering or the selected joining technique. Allow joints to cool and inspect for a uniform seam before pressure testing the system according to local codes.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment when soldering or heating fittings. Verify compatibility of flux and solder with potable water systems and follow local regulations for water installations. For systems operating above typical domestic temperatures or pressures, confirm suitability with relevant standards or consult a qualified installer.
