Arch 90°, 76,1 x 76,1

Product detailed description

This 90° press-fit elbow is designed for use in closed pressurised systems such as central heating, refrigeration, fire water supply and air-conditioning ductwork. It is commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings where reliable, leak-free connections are required. The elbow is suitable for applications involving water, dry air, inert gases and other non-drinking water media. Installers working on solar systems, HVAC ducts or industrial piping can integrate this component into systems that require long-term durability and resistance to mechanical stress.

The elbow is designed for use in closed systems where the media is permanently pressurised. It is not certified for potable water applications. The press-fit connection eliminates the need for welding or threaded joints, reducing installation time and ensuring a consistent, high-quality seal. The elbow is sized for 76.1 x 76.1 mm nominal diameters and is compatible with other components in the IVAR.IVC70 series.

Technical parameters

Operating temperature	-20 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 16
Resistance to high pressures up to	16 bar
Weight	1.752 kg
Code	IVC70.76
Brand	IVAR

The operating temperature range of -20°C to +120°C allows the elbow to be used in both cold and hot environments. The maximum pressure rating of 16 bar ensures it can handle high-pressure applications such as fire suppression and industrial air systems. These parameters are essential for sizing the component correctly and ensuring it meets the system's operational requirements.

Installation and connection

The elbow is installed using press-fit tools compatible with Type M jaws. The connection is made by inserting the pipe into the fitting until the molding indicator is reached. The molding indicator ensures the pipe is fully seated and the connection is secure. Installers should verify that the pipe is free from burrs and that the fitting is clean before pressing. Common installation mistakes include using incorrect jaw types or failing to align the molding indicator. After installation, the joint should be inspected for any visible gaps or misalignment.

Compatibility and accessories

This elbow is part of the IVAR.IVC70 series and is compatible with other press-fit components in the same range. It is suitable for use with carbon galvanized steel pipes of the same nominal diameter. No additional surface coatings or limiting agents are required for the connection. Installers should ensure that all components in the system are from the same series to maintain compatibility and system integrity.

Technical background for designers

The elbow is made of carbon galvanized steel, which provides resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage. The press-fit connection relies on the deformation of the fitting around the pipe to create a leak-free seal. The material's properties ensure long-term durability in pressurised systems. The elbow is suitable for closed systems where the media is permanently pressurised. The operating temperature and pressure range must be considered when designing the system to ensure the component functions efficiently over its service life.

Service and operation

No specific service intervals are required for this component. During operation, the system should be monitored for any signs of leaks or pressure drops. The press-fit connection is designed to be maintenance-free, but in the event of a failure, the elbow should be replaced. The absence of surface coatings or limiting agents means the connection remains stable over time.
