Arch 90°, 22 x 22

Product detailed description

Press fittings like the IVAR IVC70.22 are commonly used in closed-loop heating systems, industrial air and gas ducting, and fire suppression systems. Installers working in residential, commercial, and industrial environments frequently use these fittings to create leak-tight connections without the need for welding or threading. The fitting is suitable for both new installations and system repairs, particularly in environments where high pressure and temperature resistance are required. The galvanized steel construction provides durability and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for use in pressurised water and air systems.

When working with this fitting, installers must ensure that the system media and operating conditions align with the technical specifications. The fitting is not certified for potable water applications but is suitable for closed-loop heating, dry air, inert gases, and industrial fluids. The press connection method ensures a secure and reliable joint, reducing the risk of leaks and simplifying the installation process.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

The IVAR IVC70.22 is installed using a press tool compatible with Type M jaws. The fitting has a 22 x 22 mm connection size, and the press tool must be correctly aligned to ensure a full and even press. Installers should verify that the pipe ends are clean and free from burrs before pressing. A common mistake is misalignment during pressing, which can result in an incomplete joint and potential leaks. The molding indicator on the fitting should be fully engaged to confirm a successful press. After installation, the system should be pressure tested to ensure the integrity of the connection.

Compatibility and accessories

This press fitting is designed to work with other IVAR press fittings and pipes in the same system. It is compatible with carbon steel pipes of the same diameter and must be used with the correct press tool and Type M jaws. No additional surface coatings or limiting agents are required for the press connection. When planning an installation, ensure that all components are from the same system to maintain compatibility and system integrity.

Technical background for designers

The IVAR IVC70.22 is a long-radius 90° elbow made from carbon galvanized steel, which provides good mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion. The press connection method eliminates the need for welding or threading, reducing installation time and improving safety. The fitting is suitable for closed-loop systems where high pressure and temperature resistance are required. The material and design ensure a long service life when used within the specified operating conditions. The integration into the system depends on the media type and flow characteristics, and the fitting should be selected based on the system’s pressure and temperature requirements.

Service and operation

During operation, the fitting requires no regular maintenance. However, installers should periodically inspect the system for signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks. If the system is exposed to aggressive media or extreme conditions, additional protective measures may be necessary. The fitting’s performance is not affected by normal service conditions when installed correctly. No specific service intervals are required, but any signs of damage should be addressed immediately to prevent system failure.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IVAR IVC70.22 be used in fire suppression systems?
Yes, the fitting is suitable for fire water supply ductwork and can be used in pressurised fire suppression systems operating within the specified temperature and pressure limits.

Is the IVAR IVC70.22 compatible with other press fitting systems?
No, it is specifically designed for use with IVAR press tools and Type M jaws. Using it with other systems may compromise the integrity of the connection.

Can the fitting be used in solar heating systems?
Yes, the fitting is suitable for solar system piping as long as the operating conditions remain within the specified temperature and pressure limits.

Is the fitting certified for use with drinking water?
No, the product is not certified for potable water applications and should not be used in systems where drinking water is transported.
