Copper Tee SANHA 5130 15 mm (model 1513015) plumbing fitting

The Copper Tee SANHA 5130 15 mm is a three-way plumbing fitting designed for creating a right-angle branch in copper piping systems. Manufactured from copper, this fitting is intended for potable water, heating and cooling circuits where a durable, corrosion-resistant joint is required. The 15 mm size makes it suitable for common residential and light commercial installations and it supports soldering or capillary joining methods for secure, leak-resistant connections.

Advantages

This SANHA copper tee offers stable mechanical strength and reliable corrosion resistance due to its copper construction. Its geometry supports smooth flow transitions at the branch point and the 15 mm diameter aligns with standard copper pipe dimensions for straightforward integration. The fitting is compatible with soldered or capillary joint techniques, allowing installers to choose the connection method that best fits the application and local practice.

Suitable for

• Domestic potable water distribution
• Residential heating systems and radiator branches
• Cooling circuits in light commercial buildings
• Plumbing repair and alteration tasks requiring right-angle branches

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Type: Three-way tee with right-angle branch
• Nominal connection diameter: 15 mm
• Suitable joining methods: Soldering (capillary solder) and capillary press-fit application
• Application: Cold and hot potable water, heating and cooling systems

How to use

Select pipes of matching 15 mm outer diameter and prepare ends by cleaning and fluxing according to the chosen joining method. For soldered connections, ensure proper fit, apply flux, heat evenly, and feed solder into the joint until a continuous capillary fill is achieved. For capillary or press-fit systems, follow the manufacturer’s specific installation procedure, verifying tube insertion depth and using the recommended tools. After assembly, allow joints to cool and inspect for secure seating and absence of visible gaps before pressure testing the system.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible copper tubing and approved solder or joining materials. Observe local plumbing codes and industry best practices for potable water and heating installations. When in doubt, consult a qualified installer to ensure correct joint preparation, soldering technique, or press-fit procedure to achieve reliable, long-term performance.
