Arch 90° - externally threaded, 42 x R 6/4

Product detailed description

This 90° elbow is commonly used in central heating, fire protection, and industrial piping systems. It is suitable for closed pressurized systems and applications involving dry air, inert gases, and non-potable water. The fitting is ideal for installers working on residential, commercial, and industrial projects where secure, leak-free connections are required without the need for welding or threading. The elbow is designed for use with press and threaded systems, ensuring a reliable and efficient installation process.

Its compact design and lightweight make it suitable for tight spaces and high-traffic areas. The elbow is compatible with a wide range of system types and is often used in conjunction with other press and threaded fittings to create complex piping layouts. The EPDM O-ring ensures a durable and flexible seal, making it suitable for dynamic systems where movement or vibration is expected.

Technical parameters

The operating temperature range from -20°C to +120°C allows the fitting to be used in both cold and hot environments. The PN 16 rating indicates it can handle pressures up to 16 bar, making it suitable for high-pressure systems. These parameters are essential for selecting the correct fitting for the intended application and ensuring long-term performance.

Installation and connection

Installation involves connecting the elbow to a press pipe and a threaded component. The press side is fitted using a press tool compatible with Type M jaws, while the threaded side is tightened using standard pipe wrenches. It is important to ensure the molding indicator is fully engaged and the O-ring is seated correctly to prevent leaks. A common mistake is not verifying the molding indicator position, which can lead to a weak or incomplete connection.

Compatibility and accessories

This elbow is compatible with other IVAR press and threaded fittings. It is designed to work with press pipes of the same nominal size and threaded components with R 6/4 thread. When installing, ensure that the press tool is set to the correct size and that the mating components are clean and free of debris. No additional surface treatments or coatings are required for installation.

Technical background for designers

The elbow is made of carbon galvanized steel, which provides good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The EPDM O-ring ensures a flexible and durable seal, allowing for some movement without compromising the integrity of the connection. The elbow is suitable for integration into closed pressurized systems, where it can handle both thermal expansion and mechanical stress. The material properties and design ensure a long service life, provided the fitting is installed correctly and used within its specified parameters.

Service and operation

Regular visual inspections are recommended to check for signs of wear, corrosion, or leakage. The molding indicator should be checked to ensure it remains engaged. No specific service intervals are required, but the fitting should be replaced if any damage or degradation is observed. The elbow is not certified for drinking water and should not be used in potable water systems.
