Solder Fittings "SA" Series 4000
Gunmetal solder fittings for demanding technical applications
The SANHA® Series 4000 comprises capillary solder fittings made of high-quality copper alloy (gunmetal, CC499K). The fittings are suitable for numerous technical applications such as heating systems, gas installations, cooling and refrigeration systems, compressed air networks as well as industrial piping systems.
Gunmetal is characterised by high mechanical strength, good corrosion resistance and a long service life. Series 4000 has been used successfully in a wide range of applications for decades and is available in an extensive range of sizes and fitting types.
The SANHA® capillary solder fittings comply with all the requirements of DIN EN 1254. They are ideally suited for an operating pressure of up to 40 bar.
By the way: In the "MG" version, our solder fittings are also available for medical gas supply systems in hospitals and clinics. Please contact us about this!

Use in the refrigeration and air-conditioning sector
SANHA® capillary solder fittings are suitable for use in the refrigeration and air-conditioning sector. In accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC, when installed correctly and using silver-containing brazing alloys in conjunction with suitable fluxes, up to 54 mm the operating pressure is max. 45 bar at an operating temperature of max. 120 °C – in this case and/or for further applications please contact our Technical Applications Support at technik@sanha.com or +49 2054 925 170.
Comprehensive advantages
- Optimum corrosion resistance and hygiene thanks to low carbon content (<0.5 mg C / dm², confirmed by the Gütegemeinschaft Kupferrohr)
- All items are carefully degreased in specially designed washing systems and are therefore also suitable for the most demanding applications, for example in the field of medical gases
- Smooth surfaces at the solder ends thanks to optimised production tooling lead to better flow of the filler metal and thus ensure a secure joint
- All sizes from 6 mm to 108 mm
- Fast and reliable installation thanks to thread-sealing threads and tight manufacturing tolerances. Threads to EN 10226 and ISO7/1 Type R and Rp

Frequently asked questions about the SANHA® Series 4000 solder fittings
What are the SANHA® Series 4000 solder fittings used for?
The SANHA® Series 4000 solder fittings are used primarily in heating systems, gas installations, compressed air systems, cooling and refrigeration systems, as well as in industrial piping systems. The range includes sockets, bends, tees, adaptors, reducers and other fittings for capillary soldered joints.
What material are the Series 4000 fittings made of?
The SANHA® Series 4000 is manufactured from gunmetal. Gunmetal is a proven copper alloy with high corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties and a long service life.
What is gunmetal?
Gunmetal is a copper alloy of copper, tin and zinc. The material is characterised by good strength, high corrosion resistance and a long service life and has been used for decades in building services and plant engineering.
What advantages does gunmetal offer compared with other materials?
Gunmetal offers high corrosion resistance, good mechanical strength and a long service life. The material is also established for numerous technical applications in heating, gas, industrial and HVACR systems.
What is the difference between gunmetal and brass?
In addition to copper and zinc, gunmetal also contains a higher proportion of tin. As a result, gunmetal exhibits higher corrosion resistance in many applications. Both materials are used in sanitary, heating and building services, but differ in composition and properties.
Are the fittings suitable for soft soldering and brazing?
Yes. The SANHA® Series 4000 is designed for capillary soldered joints and can be soft soldered or brazed in accordance with the applicable processing guidelines.
Which fittings are suitable for gas lines?
Depending on national regulations and approvals, suitable fittings are required for gas installations. The SANHA® Series 4000 includes a broad range of solder fittings for gas applications. The respective technical documentation and approvals are authoritative.
Which fittings are suitable for heating systems?
Fittings made of copper or copper alloys are often used for heating systems. The SANHA® Series 4000 offers suitable gunmetal solder fittings for closed heating systems and other technical piping systems.
For which media can the fittings be used?
Depending on the application and applicable regulations, the fittings can be used, for example, for gas, heating water, compressed air and other technical media. The respective technical documentation and approvals are authoritative.
What applications are typical for Series 4000?
Typical applications are heating installations, gas lines, compressed air networks, cooling and refrigeration systems, industrial piping systems, building services engineering as well as energy and utility supply systems.
What does HVACR mean?
HVACR stands for Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration. This includes heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration systems. Series 4000 is suitable for numerous applications in these areas.
Which fittings are used in cooling and refrigeration systems?
Depending on the system design, various piping components are used in cooling and refrigeration systems. Gunmetal solder fittings are used where the respective operating conditions, material properties and regulations permit.
What sizes and fittings are available?
Series 4000 comprises a comprehensive range of sockets, bends, tees, reducers, adaptors and other fittings in numerous sizes for different piping tasks.
Which standards and approvals are available for Series 4000?
Depending on the respective product, various national and international approvals, test marks and certifications are available. The product-specific information can be found in the technical documentation and on the respective product page.
Where can I find technical data, tender texts and CAD data?
Technical data sheets, tender texts, certificates, CAD data and other planning documents are available for download on the respective SANHA® product pages.
