90° PRESS GAS arch - with one plug-in end - 18mm IVAR.IVN21 GAS

Product detailed description

This 90° press gas elbow is a key component in gas distribution systems for industrial and commercial applications. It is commonly used in gas supply lines for natural gas, biogas and liquid propane. The elbow is designed for use in press-fit systems and is suitable for both new installations and system expansions. It is particularly useful in tight spaces where directional changes are required without the need for additional fittings or complex assembly.

Gas distribution systems often require directional changes to accommodate building layouts and equipment placement. This elbow allows for a 90° turn with a single press connection, ensuring a secure and leak-free joint. The elbow is typically used in conjunction with press-fit pipes and other fittings to create a reliable and efficient gas distribution network. It is commonly found in heating systems, industrial gas lines and commercial gas installations where flexibility and durability are essential.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

The elbow features a press connection on one end and a standard diameter on the other, allowing for easy integration into existing or new press-fit systems. The press connection requires a compatible press tool to ensure a secure joint. Installers should verify that the pipe diameter matches the elbow's specifications and that the press tool is correctly calibrated. Common installation mistakes include using the wrong press tool or failing to ensure a clean and dry connection surface, which can compromise the integrity of the joint.

Compatibility and accessories

This elbow is compatible with press-fit pipes and fittings of the same diameter and material. It is designed for use with stainless steel pipes and requires a press tool for installation. Additional accessories such as press tools and sealing rings may be required for a complete installation. Installers should ensure that all components are from the same system to maintain compatibility and system integrity.

Technical background for designers

The elbow is constructed from stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L), a material known for its corrosion resistance and durability. The yellow HNBR sealing ring provides a reliable seal against gas leakage. The elbow is designed to integrate seamlessly into press-fit gas distribution systems, ensuring a secure and long-lasting connection. The operating temperature range and nominal pressure are critical factors in determining the elbow's suitability for a given application. The material properties and design ensure that the elbow can withstand the mechanical and thermal stresses encountered in gas distribution systems.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the elbow and its connections is recommended to ensure continued performance and safety. Installers should check for signs of wear, corrosion or leakage, particularly at the press connection. The elbow does not require regular maintenance beyond visual inspections. Any issues with the connection should be addressed immediately to prevent gas leaks and ensure system integrity.
