German piping system manufacturer SANHA® is once more introducing a helpful addition to her range. With a 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 and help to cut down on SKU proliferation.
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 metals. 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 a wide range of applications such as heating, cooling, drinking water, compressed air and many more.
With two press ends – one for thick-walled 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 in a convenient and timely manner.
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 o rings ensures a permanently tight connection.
The press connection on the other side sports 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
- Leak path feature to help ensure that all connections have been perfectly pressed
The compatibility with different tools, jaws, slings AND various pipes makes this a truly universal transition fitting.
