Arch 45° - N - 15mm IVAR.IVN22

Product detailed description

This 45° stainless steel elbow is used in professional heating, plumbing and industrial installations where reliable connections are required. It is commonly found in residential, commercial and industrial buildings, connecting pipes in heating circuits, fire protection systems and sanitary water lines. Installers and technicians use this fitting to create angled connections between press-fitted pipes, ensuring tight and durable joints under varying thermal and mechanical loads.

The design allows for precise alignment in tight spaces while maintaining the integrity of the system. Its use is particularly common in systems where space constraints require non-standard angles or where gradual directional changes are needed to reduce flow turbulence. The fitting is suitable for both new installations and repairs, especially in environments where corrosion resistance and long-term reliability are essential.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation requires a compatible press tool and following the manufacturer's guidelines for pressing depth and alignment. The elbow connects via press-fit ends to stainless steel pipes of appropriate diameter. Before pressing, ensure the pipe is clean and free of burrs. Use a marking tool to align the fitting correctly and confirm the pressing depth with the tool’s indicator. Common mistakes include insufficient pressing depth, misalignment and using incorrect tools, which can lead to leaks or joint failure.

Always verify that the sealing ring is properly seated and undamaged before pressing. Check the system for leaks after installation and during commissioning. Avoid using excessive force when positioning the elbow, as this can distort the fitting or damage the seal.

Compatibility and accessories

This elbow is designed for use with stainless steel pipes of equivalent diameter and compatible press tools. It is suitable for systems requiring connections in heating, fire protection and industrial applications. For complete system integration, ensure all fittings and pipes are from the same press system to maintain compatibility. No additional accessories are required unless specified in the system design.

Technical background for designers

The elbow functions by redirecting the flow of media through a 45° angle while maintaining a sealed connection. The stainless steel body provides resistance to corrosion and thermal expansion, making it suitable for both hot and cold applications. The EPDM sealing ring ensures a tight joint and compensates for minor misalignments during installation. When integrated into a system, the elbow contributes to smooth flow dynamics and minimizes stress points in the piping network. Long-term performance depends on correct installation, material compatibility and adherence to operating limits.

Service and operation

Under normal operating conditions, this fitting requires no routine maintenance. However, periodic visual inspections are recommended to detect signs of wear, corrosion or leakage. If a leak occurs, the joint should be disassembled and inspected for damage to the sealing ring or deformation of the fitting. There are no defined service intervals in the manufacturer's documentation; maintenance is only necessary in case of visible defects or system issues.

Frequently asked questions

Can this elbow be used in solar heating systems?
Yes, the elbow is suitable for solar heating systems due to its resistance to thermal cycling and compatibility with hot water media.

Is this fitting compatible with inert gas applications?
Yes, the stainless steel body and EPDM seal make it suitable for use with inert gases within the specified temperature and pressure limits.

What tools are required for installation?
A compatible press tool is required to create a secure joint. Ensure the tool is calibrated and suitable for the fitting size and material.

Can the elbow be used in fire sprinkler systems?
Yes, it is approved for use in fire sprinkler systems where stainless steel piping is specified and press connections are required.
