Arch 45° PRESS GAS - 22mm IVAR.IVN22 GAS

Product detailed description

Gas distribution systems in residential, commercial and industrial buildings often require directional changes in piping to accommodate layout constraints and system design. The 45° press elbow is a critical component in such systems, enabling smooth transitions without disrupting flow dynamics. This elbow is specifically designed for press-fit connections, ensuring a secure and leak-free installation. It is commonly used in gas supply lines where directional adjustments are necessary while maintaining system integrity.

Installers and technicians working on gas distribution systems must ensure that all components meet the required pressure and temperature standards. This elbow is suitable for use with natural gas, biogas and liquid propane, making it a versatile solution for a range of gas applications. The press-fit design allows for quick and reliable installation, reducing downtime and ensuring system performance.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation involves preparing the pipe ends and inserting them into the press fitting. The press tool is then used to compress the fitting around the pipe, creating a secure connection. The elbow features a 22mm connection size with a press-fit interface. It is important to ensure that the pipe is clean and free of debris before installation to prevent damage to the sealing O-ring. Common installation mistakes include using incorrect tools or applying uneven pressure during pressing, which can compromise the connection.

Compatibility and accessories

This elbow is compatible with other press-fit components in the IVAR GAS system. It is typically used in conjunction with straight press fittings, tees and other elbows to create a complete gas distribution network. For larger diameters (76.1, 88.9 and 108 mm), the elbow is available upon special order. No additional accessories are required for standard installation, but it is important to ensure that all components are from the same system to maintain compatibility.

Technical background for designers

The elbow operates on the principle of press-fit connection, where the fitting is compressed around the pipe to create a tight seal. The stainless steel construction (Wst. Nr. The HNBR sealing ring ensures a reliable seal against the specified media. The elbow is designed to integrate seamlessly into gas systems, with the material and construction selected to withstand the operating conditions and media properties.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the press connections is recommended to ensure there are no signs of wear or damage. The sealing ring should be checked for any signs of degradation, particularly in systems operating near the upper temperature limit. No specific service intervals are provided, but any issues with the connection should be addressed immediately to prevent system failure.
