SANHA press fitting tee 22 mm ZW x ZW x ZW model 1613022 for press-installation

SANHA press fitting tee 22 mm ZW x ZW x ZW model 1613022 is a 22 mm press-installation tee designed for creating a three-way branch in copper or compatible press pipe systems. The fitting is intended for press-connection assembly and forms a mechanical, solder-free joint when pressed with the appropriate press tool and jaws. It is suitable for potable water installations, central heating circuits and sanitary systems where press fittings are specified and provides a reliable connection that reduces assembly time compared with soldered joints.

Advantages

The press tee provides a consistent, gas- and water-tight joint when installed with suitable pressing tools and profiles. Its 22 mm dimensions match standard copper pipe sizes used in residential and light-commercial plumbing. The solder-free installation eliminates the need for flames or flux, improving safety and allowing installation in confined or combustible spaces. The design supports quick, repeatable assembly and maintenance, and is compatible with commonly used press fittings and pipe materials specified for press systems.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution in residential and commercial buildings
• Central heating circuits and radiator connections
• Sanitary installations such as sinks, showers and fixtures
• Retrofit and renovation projects where soldering is impractical

Key specifications

• Connection type: press fitting suitable for press-tool assembly
• Size: 22 mm branch and run diameters
• Material compatibility: copper and press-compatible piping
• Joint type: mechanical, solder-free press joint
• Applications: potable water, heating and sanitary systems

How to use

Ensure pipes are cut squarely, deburred and cleaned to the required insertion depth. Insert the pipe fully into each socket until it reaches the internal stop. Use the correct pressing tool and jaw/profile for 22 mm press fittings and perform the press operation according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Verify each pressed joint visually and, if applicable, by the installation system’s verification indicators. Pressure-test the assembled system following local codes and standards before putting it into service.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools and jaw profiles that are approved for the fitting system and size. Store fittings in a clean, dry environment and protect them from mechanical damage before installation. Follow local regulations for potable water and heating installations and conduct pressure tests after assembly.
