Arch 45° PRESS GAS - 54mm IVAR.IVN22 GAS

Product detailed description

The IVAR Arch 45° PRESS GAS - 54mm is a precision-engineered elbow fitting used in gas distribution systems. It is commonly found in residential, commercial and industrial buildings where gas pipelines need directional changes. Installers working on gas supply networks, biogas systems or liquid propane installations will find this component essential for creating accurate 45° bends in stainless steel piping systems. The elbow is designed for low-temperature environments and is certified for safe operation up to +70 °C.

This press fitting is intended for use with stainless steel pipe systems and is specifically suited for gas media. The press connection ensures leak-tight performance and mechanical stability. The fitting is compatible with standard gas distribution systems and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications where environmental conditions remain within specified limits. It is often integrated into larger gas distribution systems, including those serving heating appliances, cooking equipment and industrial gas burners.

Technical parameters

Material	Stainless steel Wst. Nr. 1.4404 (AISI 316L), sealing O-ring HNBR yellow
Operating temperature	-20 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 5
Code	IVNGAS22.54
Brand	IVAR

The nominal pressure rating of PN 5 indicates that the fitting is suitable for medium-pressure gas distribution systems. The operating temperature range from -20 °C to +70 °C allows for use in cold storage facilities and warm environments alike. These parameters are crucial for correct system sizing and must be considered during the design phase to ensure compatibility with the rest of the pipeline components and system requirements.

Installation and connection

To install the IVAR Arch 45° PRESS GAS - 54mm, the installer must first prepare the stainless steel pipe ends by cleaning and measuring the required length. The press connection is made using a compatible press tool that compresses the fitting around the pipe. The connection size must match the pipe outer diameter precisely. During installation, it is important to verify that the press tool is correctly aligned and that the fitting is fully seated on the pipe. Common installation errors include misalignment of the fitting, incorrect tool pressure and failure to clean the pipe surface before pressing. These issues can compromise the integrity of the connection and lead to leaks or structural weaknesses.

Compatibility and accessories

This fitting is designed to work with stainless steel pipes of compatible dimensions. It is intended for use with other press fittings in the IVAR.IVN22 GAS series. For larger sizes such as 76.1 mm, 88.9 mm and 108 mm, the fitting is available on special order. When assembling a complete gas distribution system, it is necessary to ensure that all components are from the same press system to maintain compatibility and system integrity. Accessories such as additional press tools and sealing rings should be ordered separately based on the system's scale and requirements.

Technical background for designers

The press fitting operates by forming a metal-to-metal seal between the fitting and the pipe through mechanical compression. The stainless steel body provides high corrosion resistance and long-term durability in gas environments. The HNBR sealing ring ensures a tight seal and compensates for minor dimensional tolerances. The fitting integrates into the overall system by aligning with the flow direction and maintaining structural stability under operating conditions. The service life and efficiency of the fitting depend on proper installation, correct system pressure and environmental conditions. Exposure to extreme temperatures or improper installation can reduce the expected lifespan of the component.

Service and operation

During operation, the fitting requires no active maintenance. However, regular inspections should be conducted to check for signs of wear, corrosion or mechanical damage. Installers should verify that the press connections remain intact and that there are no visible deformations. If the system is exposed to fluctuating temperatures or high vibration, additional checks may be necessary. Since no specific service intervals are provided in the technical documentation, maintenance should be carried out based on the overall system requirements and local regulations.
