SANHA press elbow 90° PXPZ 22 – pressed fitting for copper and copper alloys, 22 mm

The SANHA press elbow 90° PXPZ 22 is a pressed 90-degree fitting designed for copper and copper-alloy piping with a 22 mm nominal diameter. Made to create secure press connections, this elbow is intended for installations in plumbing, heating and refrigeration systems where reliable, leak-resistant joints are required. The fitting is compatible with standard press tools and rings for copper systems and is suitable for both commercial and residential applications.

Advantages

This pressed elbow provides a consistent, factory-quality joint without soldering or threaded connections, reducing installation time and the need for open flame. The connection offers mechanical strength and resistance to leak paths common in traditional joints. The uniform press profile ensures repeatable results with appropriate press tooling and inspection is straightforward. The compact 90° bend allows changes of direction in tight spaces while maintaining full bore flow characteristics.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water systems
• Central heating and radiator connections
• Refrigeration and cooling circuits using copper tubing
• Retrofit and new-build plumbing installations requiring press fittings

Key specifications

• Material compatibility: copper and copper alloys
• Connection type: press-fit elbow, 90° angle
• Nominal size: 22 mm
• Application areas: water, heating and refrigeration systems
• Installation method: press connection using compatible press tools and rings

How to use

Prepare tubing ends by cutting squarely and deburring the inner and outer edges to ensure a clean fit. Slide the correct press-fitting ring onto the tube if required by the press system, insert the tube fully into the elbow until it seats, and position the press tool over the fitting according to the tool manufacturer's guidance. Perform the press operation ensuring correct tool alignment and cycle parameters. After pressing, visually inspect the joint and, where applicable, perform a pressure test to confirm integrity before commissioning the system.

Usage recommendations

Use press tools and jaws specified for 22 mm copper press fittings and follow the press tool and fitting manufacturer's instructions. Avoid using deformed or damaged tubing and ensure compatibility of all system components. For systems conveying potable water, follow local codes for flushing and disinfection after installation.
