SANHA Press elbow 90° female-female 16002A18 (press fitting elbow 90° ZW x ZW)

SANHA Press 90° elbow model 16002A18 is a press-fit fitting with two female ends designed for creating secure right-angle connections in metal piping systems. Intended for use in installations where a change of direction is required, this press elbow enables solder-free assembly and provides a reliable joint for heating, potable water and commercial plumbing systems. The fitting is compatible with standard press installation tools and is suitable for projects that require durable, leak-resistant joints without open flame work.

Advantages

The press elbow offers a consistent, gas-free installation method that reduces on-site time and eliminates the need for brazing or soldering. By using press connections the fitting minimizes heat exposure to surrounding materials and decreases the risk of installation-related damage. It provides a robust mechanical connection with predictable behaviour under normal operating pressures and temperatures typical for heating and potable water systems.

Suitable for

• Heating system pipe runs requiring 90° direction changes
• Potable water distribution in residential and commercial buildings
• Plumbing installations where solder-free, press-fit connections are preferred
• Retrofit and new-build projects using metal press-fit piping

Key specifications

• Connection type: female to female press-fit elbow, 90°
• Material compatibility: intended for use with compatible metal piping materials used in press systems
• Function: creates right-angle joint without soldering or brazing
• Typical applications: heating, potable water and commercial plumbing circuits

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by ensuring they are cut square, deburred and free from contaminants. Insert the pipe ends fully into each female press end according to the press tool and jaw manufacturer's instructions, aligning the fitting to the required orientation. Use a suitable press tool and the correct-sized press jaw to make the permanent connection, following the tool manufacturer's recommended cycle and safety procedures. After pressing, verify the joint visually and, where applicable, perform a pressure test in accordance with local codes and project requirements.

Usage recommendations

Use certified press tools and matching jaws to ensure correct compression and sealing. Store fittings in a dry environment and inspect each fitting for damage or contamination before installation. Follow project specifications and local regulations regarding system testing and commissioning.
