German specialist for piping systems SANHA is once more introducing a helpful addition to their range. With the new universal transition fitting, connections between thick-walled steel pipes and various other pipes like stainless steel, carbon steel and copper are an easy feat for the experienced installer.

Why universal transition fittings?

The new fittings are made from lead free silicon bronze (CuSi). This material is highly corrosion-resistant and durable and optimally suited to connect various metal pipes. The fittings are available in a wide range of common dimensions, offering maximum flexibility for installers and wholesalers alike. At the same time, the premium material allows for many applications such as heating, cooling, drinking water, compressed air and many more.

With two press ends – one for thickwalled steel pipes, the other for stainless steel, carbon steel and copper pipes -, new installations as well as repairs in existing buildings can be carried out conveniently. What makes the transition fitting stand out is the fact that all pipes can be used, not just the manufacturer’s own.

The connection with thick-walled steel pipes is especially durable due to two rows of bi-directional “teeth” acting as a further stabilising factor while holding the fitting in place when it is pushed onto the pipe. A 200 % larger surface area of the sealing ring compared to traditional sealing rings ensures a permanently tight connection.

The press connection on the other side has all the advantages of combipress® by SANHA®:

  • Tool compatibility: Can be pressed with SA, V and M original contours up to and including 54 mm (SA & M up to 108 mm)
  • Push & Stay for easy handling in every situation
  • Leak path feature to help ensure that all connections have been perfectly pressed

The compatibility with different tools, jaws, slings AND pipes makes this a truly universal transition fitting.
