Copper reducing tee SANHA 5130 28 x 22 x 28 mm

SANHA 5130 copper reducing tee 28 x 22 x 28 mm is a metallic plumbing fitting designed to join three copper pipes where one branch is reduced in diameter. Intended for use in water supply and heating systems, the fitting supports soldering or brazing installation methods to create robust, leak-resistant joints and reliable pipe routing for distribution or transition points.

Advantages

The reducing tee is manufactured from copper to ensure good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance in typical plumbing environments. Its reduced branch allows smooth transition between different pipe sizes without additional adapters, simplifying layout and saving installation time. The fitting is suitable for permanent soldered or brazed connections, delivering durable mechanical strength and stable seals when installed according to standard practices.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution
• Central heating systems and radiator connections
• Plumbing repairs and re-routing of existing copper pipework
• Transition points between different pipe diameters in piping networks

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Connection method: suitable for soldering (hard or soft) and brazing
• Dimensions: main run Ø 28 mm, branch Ø 22 mm, opposite run Ø 28 mm
• Application: water and heating systems
• Shape: reducing tee (T-fitting with one reduced branch)

How to use

Prepare copper pipe ends by cutting square, deburring and cleaning to remove oxides and contaminants. Fit the tee onto the prepared pipes to verify correct alignment and gap for capillary action. Apply appropriate flux for the chosen soldering or brazing method. Heat the joint evenly with a torch until the solder or filler metal flows into the joint by capillary action, then allow to cool naturally. After cooling, remove any residual flux and inspect the joint for continuity and leaks before returning the system to service.

Usage recommendations

Follow applicable local plumbing codes and standards. Use flux, filler materials, and soldering techniques compatible with copper piping and the system media. For potable water systems, ensure materials and procedures comply with drinking water regulations. When working on heating systems, isolate and depressurize circuits and allow components to cool before starting. If uncertain about installation methods, consult a qualified plumbing professional.
