Copper reducing tee SANHA 5130 22 x 15 x 22 mm (copper fittings)

Copper reducing tee SANHA 5130 22 x 15 x 22 mm is a three-way copper fitting designed to connect two equal-diameter runs with a reduced branch. Manufactured from copper, this tee provides a durable, corrosion-resistant junction for potable water and heating systems. The fitting is intended for use with soldered or compatible press-fit joining methods and is dimensioned to adapt a 22 mm main line to a 15 mm branch, maintaining flow continuity and mechanical stability in residential and light commercial piping installations.

Advantages

The SANHA reducing tee offers precise dimensional tolerances and consistent wall thickness to ensure reliable joints and leak-free performance when properly installed. Copper construction provides good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, suitable for hot and cold water circuits as well as central heating lines. Its compact form factor simplifies installation in confined spaces where a step-down branching is required.

Suitable for

• Domestic potable water distribution where a 22 mm main feeds a 15 mm fixture line
• Residential and light commercial heating systems requiring a reduced branch
• Retrofit and new-build plumbing where soldered or press-fit copper connections are used

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Configuration: Reducing tee with two equal inlets/outlets and one reduced branch
• Dimensions: 22 mm × 15 mm × 22 mm
• Connection methods: Suitable for soldering or compatible press-fit systems
• Application temperature range: Suitable for typical potable water and heating system temperatures (refer to system components for limits)

How to use

Ensure pipe ends are clean, deburred and correctly sized before fitting. For soldered joints, apply appropriate flux and use a suitable soldering technique to create a secure, continuous joint. For press-fit connections, use the recommended press tool and jaws compatible with copper fittings, confirming the press depth and position per the press system manufacturer’s instructions. Verify alignment of the branch and main runs before final joining and allow any soldered joints to cool undisturbed. After installation, pressure-test the system in accordance with local codes to confirm leak-free operation.

Usage recommendations

Before installation, confirm compatibility with other system components and follow manufacturer guidelines for joining methods. Use protective equipment when soldering and ensure installations comply with local plumbing and heating regulations. For systems with aggressive water chemistry or where additional corrosion protection is required, consult a specialist to select suitable materials and treatments.
