SANHA press tee 28 x 18 x 28 mm – copper press fitting, model 16130281828

SANHA press tee 28 x 18 x 28 mm is a copper press fitting designed to form a reliable T-connection in press-fit plumbing systems. The fitting provides a run diameter of 28 mm and a branch diameter of 18 mm, enabling a reduction in one joint without soldering. It is intended for potable water, heating and general plumbing installations where a secure, leak-tight connection is required when used with the appropriate press tool and compatible press rings.

Advantages

The fitting offers quick, solder-free assembly, reducing installation time and eliminating the need for an open flame. Made from copper, it provides corrosion resistance and thermal stability suitable for water and heating systems. Press connections create consistent joints with reduced risk of human error when installed with the correct press tool and ring, and the tee’s dimensions allow easy integration between 28 mm and 18 mm pipe runs.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution
• Central heating and radiator connections
• Plumbing systems requiring a 28 mm to 18 mm branch reduction
• Situations where flame-free, press-fit installation is preferred

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Connection type: Press-fit (requires compatible press tool and press rings)
• Run outer diameter: 28 mm
• Branch outer diameter: 18 mm
• Function: T-connection / branch reduction

How to use

Select the correct press tool and compatible press rings for copper fittings and verify pipe ends are clean, deburred and correctly cut to length. Insert the pipe fully into the fitting until it seats, ensuring proper alignment. Position the press tool over the fitting at the designated press zone and operate the tool according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions until a complete press cycle is achieved. After pressing, visually inspect the joint for correct deformation and full engagement according to the press system’s guidelines.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools and press rings approved by SANHA or by the press system manufacturer and follow local plumbing codes. For potable water and heating applications, pressure-test the system after installation and apply suitable insulation where required to prevent freezing and heat loss.
