SANHA Purapress transition fitting, female thread x male thread 22 mm x 1/2" (182702212)

The SANHA Purapress transition fitting female thread x male thread 22 mm x 1/2" is a press-style coupling designed to connect 22 mm copper or compatible pipes to a 1/2" threaded connection. The fitting provides Purapress press ends for permanent, leak-resistant joints and a threaded interface for attaching valves, fixtures or adapters. It is suitable for potable water and heating systems where a secure press-to-thread transition is required.

Advantages

The fitting combines the speed and reliability of Purapress press connections with a standard threaded interface, allowing quick installation without soldering. Its press ends produce consistent, durable joints that reduce installation time and minimize the need for hot works. The threaded portion permits easy adaptation to commonly used valves and fixtures. Constructed to meet potable water and heating system requirements, the component supports long-term, low-maintenance operation when installed according to manufacturer guidelines.

Suitable for

• Connecting 22 mm copper or compatible press pipe systems to 1/2" threaded valves and fittings
• Potable water distribution and domestic hot water systems
• Heating system connections where a press-to-thread transition is required
• Retrofitting or repair work where replacing soldered joints is undesirable

Key specifications

• Connection types: press ends (22 mm) and threaded interface (1/2")
• Material: corrosion-resistant metal alloy suitable for domestic water and heating systems
• Application temperature range: compatible with typical potable water and heating system temperatures
• Sealing method: press-formed joint for permanent, leak-resistant connection
• Use environment: potable water and closed heating systems

How to use

Prepare the 22 mm pipe by deburring and cleaning the outer surface to ensure a proper press joint. Slide the correct Purapress press sleeve or ring (as recommended by the press tool manufacturer) over the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the fitting until it seats, and perform the press operation with a compatible press tool and jaw sized for 22 mm. Screw the 1/2" threaded connection to the mating valve or fixture using suitable sealing method for threaded joints where required. After installation, inspect the press and threaded connections for correct assembly and pressure-test the system according to applicable standards and local regulations.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools, jaws and sealing materials compatible with Purapress fittings and follow local plumbing codes. Avoid excessive mechanical stress on the joint during assembly and commissioning. For potable water systems, flush and disinfect the system as required by local regulations before regular use.
