Copper Tee SANHA 5130 22 mm, model 1513022

Copper Tee SANHA 5130 22 mm, model 1513022 is a factory-made copper pipe fitting designed to create a three-way junction in copper piping systems. With a nominal diameter of 22 mm, this tee allows branching or joining of three pipes in plumbing, heating and refrigeration circuits. It is manufactured from copper to provide corrosion resistance and reliable mechanical stability where soldered or joined to copper tubing.

Advantages

This copper tee offers a precise, factory-formed geometry that ensures consistent wall thickness and dimensional accuracy for dependable joints. Its copper construction provides good thermal conductivity and resistance to corrosion in potable water and HVAC environments. The product is compatible with soldered connections and standard copper pipe installation techniques, enabling leak-tight joints when correctly assembled and brazed or soft-soldered.

Suitable for

• Branching potable water supply lines in residential and commercial installations
• Creating tees in heating system circuits (radiators, underfloor heating manifolds)
• Joining refrigeration and air-conditioning copper lines where branch fittings are required
• Repairs and modifications of existing copper piping networks

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Nominal diameter: 22 mm
• Fitting type: equal tee (three-way junction)
• Connection method: designed for soldering/brazing to copper pipe
• Intended media: potable water, heating fluids, refrigeration refrigerants (as appropriate for copper systems)

How to use

Prepare the copper pipe ends by cutting square, deburring and cleaning to remove oxides and contaminants. Fit the tee onto the prepared pipe ends and ensure correct alignment and insertion depth. Apply appropriate flux for soldering or brazing and heat evenly until a suitable filler metal flows around the joint to form a continuous fillet. Allow the assembly to cool naturally, then inspect visually and test the system under pressure according to applicable installation standards and codes.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable personal protective equipment during soldering or brazing and follow local plumbing and HVAC regulations. Select the correct filler material and flux for the operating temperature and media. For potable water installations, ensure the solder alloy and procedures comply with drinking water safety standards. When used in refrigeration systems, follow refrigerant-specific brazing practices and leak-testing procedures.
