Product detailed description
This 90° elbow with internal thread is commonly used in closed heating systems, fire protection systems, and industrial piping. It is designed for use in pressurized environments where reliable and leak-free connections are essential. The elbow is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, provided the installation conditions are within the specified operating parameters. It is often used in conjunction with press fittings and threaded components to create secure and durable piping networks. The elbow is particularly useful in systems where directional changes are required without the need for welding or complex assembly methods.
Its compact design and lightweight make it ideal for installations where space is limited or where frequent adjustments are necessary. The elbow is suitable for use with dry air, inert gases, and water-based media in both heating and cooling applications. It is not certified for potable water use and should not be used in systems where drinking water is transported.

The elbow is rated for a nominal pressure of PN 16 and can withstand pressures up to 16 bar. It is suitable for operating temperatures as low as -20 °C and up to a maximum of +120 °C. These parameters are essential for determining the suitability of the elbow in different system designs and for ensuring compatibility with other components in the piping network.Installation and connection
The elbow is installed using a press tool compatible with Type M jaws. The press connection is made on the non-threaded side, while the internal thread allows for connection to standard threaded components. The elbow has a 22 mm press connection and an Rp 3/4 internal thread. During installation, it is important to ensure that the press tool is correctly aligned and that the molding indicator is fully engaged to prevent leaks. Common installation errors include misalignment of the press tool, insufficient pressure during molding, and failure to check the integrity of the connection after installation. It is also important to avoid over-tightening the threaded connection, as this can damage the
EPDM O-ring and lead to leaks.Compatibility and accessories
The elbow is compatible with a wide range of press fittings and threaded components from the IVAR range. It is designed to work with Type M jaws and requires a press tool suitable for the specified diameter. Additional components such as straight press fittings, threaded adapters, and other elbows may be required depending on the specific layout of the piping system. The elbow is not compatible with systems that require surface coating limiting agents or where the use of such agents is mandatory. It is also important to ensure that all components in the system are rated for the same operating conditions to maintain system integrity.Technical background for designers
The elbow is constructed from
carbon galvanized steel, which provides good resistance to
corrosion and mechanical damage. The EPDM O-ring ensures a tight seal between the internal thread and the connected component. The press connection is designed to create a secure and leak-free joint without the need for welding or additional sealing materials. The elbow is suitable for use in closed pressurized systems and is often used in conjunction with other press fittings to create a fully sealed piping network. The operating temperature range and pressure rating are
key factors in determining the suitability of the elbow for a particular application. The material properties and design of the elbow contribute to its durability and long service life, provided the installation and operating conditions are within the specified limits.Service and operation
No specific service intervals are required for this elbow. However, it is recommended to periodically inspect the connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or leakage. If a leak is detected, the affected connection should be disassembled and re-pressed using the appropriate tool. It is important to ensure that the molding indicator is fully engaged during re-pressing to maintain the integrity of the connection. In high-pressure or high-temperature environments, additional monitoring may be necessary to ensure the continued performance of the elbow. The elbow should not be used in systems where the operating conditions exceed the specified parameters, as this may lead to premature failure or reduced efficiency.Frequently asked questions
