Arch 90° MF, 15 x 15

Product detailed description

Press-fit elbow fittings are essential components in the installation of closed pressurized systems, including central heating, fire water, and refrigeration systems. These fittings are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings where reliable and leak-free connections are required. Installers working in these environments must ensure that all components are compatible with the system's operating conditions and that connections are made correctly to avoid leaks and system failures.

When installing piping systems, it is important to consider the type of media being transported, the operating temperature range, and the pressure conditions. The IVAR IVC21.15 90° elbow is designed for use in systems operating within a temperature range of -20 °C to +120 °C and can withstand pressures up to 16 bar. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including heating systems, fire water systems, and industrial piping.

The technical parameters of the IVAR IVC21.15 are critical for determining its suitability for specific applications. The PN 16 rating indicates that the fitting can handle pressures up to 16 bar, making it suitable for high-pressure systems. The operating temperature range from -20 °C to +120 °C ensures compatibility with both cold and hot media. These parameters are essential for proper sizing and selection to ensure system integrity and longevity.Installation and connection The IVAR IVC21.15 is installed using a press-fit method, which eliminates the need for welding or threaded joints. The fitting features a 15 mm connection size and is compatible with M-type jaws. During installation, it is important to ensure that the molding indicator is engaged and that the connection is properly seated. Common installation mistakes include improper jaw alignment and failure to check the molding indicator, which can lead to leaks or system failures. Always verify that the connection is secure and that the fitting is compatible with the system's operating conditions.Compatibility and accessories The IVAR IVC21.15 is compatible with a wide range of press-fit systems and can be used in conjunction with other IVAR press-fit components. To ensure a complete and reliable installation, it is necessary to use compatible M-type jaws and press tools. No additional surface coatings or limiting agents are required, as the fitting is designed to be leakproof when properly molded. No related products are required for this installation.Technical background for designers The IVAR IVC21.15 is constructed from carbon galvanized steel, which provides resistance to mechanical damage and corrosion. The EPDM O-ring ensures a tight seal and contributes to the fitting's leakproof performance. The press-fit method of connection eliminates the need for additional sealing materials and ensures a secure connection. The fitting's design allows for integration into a variety of systems, including heating, refrigeration, and fire water systems. The operating temperature range and pressure rating are key factors that influence the fitting's service life and efficiency.Service and operation The IVAR IVC21.15 requires minimal maintenance due to its durable construction and leakproof design. Regular inspections should be conducted to ensure that all connections remain secure and that there are no signs of wear or damage. As the fitting is not certified for drinking water, it should not be used in potable water systems. No specific service intervals are required, but any signs of damage or leakage should be addressed immediately to prevent system failures.Frequently asked questions
