Arch 90° MF, 22 x 22

Product detailed description

The IVAR IVC21.22 90° arc is commonly used in closed pressurised systems such as central heating, refrigeration, and fire suppression installations. It is suitable for applications involving dry air, inert gases, and non-potable water systems. Installers working in residential, commercial and industrial environments will find this elbow ideal for creating directional changes in ductwork without the need for welding or threaded connections. The fitting is lightweight and designed for use with press tools compatible with Type M jaws, ensuring secure and leak-free assembly.

Its operating temperature range allows it to be used in both cold and hot environments, making it suitable for a wide range of system designs. The material and construction ensure resistance to mechanical damage and high-pressure conditions, making it a reliable component in pressurised systems where precision and durability are essential.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation of the IVAR IVC21.22 requires a press tool compatible with Type M jaws. The elbow features a press-fit connection with one end designed for insertion into a pipe. The connection size is 22 mm, and the fitting must be pressed securely to ensure a leak-free joint. During installation, the molding indicator must be fully engaged to confirm a correct press fit. Common mistakes include using incompatible press tools or failing to check the molding indicator, which can lead to leaks or system failure. Always verify the alignment of the fitting and pipe before pressing.

Compatibility and accessories

This 90° arc is compatible with other IVAR press-fit components of the same size and material. It is intended for use with carbon galvanized steel pipes and EPDM O-rings. For complete system integration, ensure that all fittings and pipes are from the same press-fit system and compatible with Type M jaws. No additional surface coatings or agents are required for assembly. No related products are specified for this model.

Technical background for designers

The IVAR IVC21.22 90° arc is designed for use in pressurised systems where directional changes are required. The carbon galvanized steel construction provides resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. The EPDM O-ring ensures a tight seal between the fitting and pipe. The operating principle relies on the press-fit connection, which eliminates the need for welding or threaded joints. The system's efficiency and service life depend on correct installation, use of compatible tools, and adherence to pressure and temperature limits.

Service and operation

Once installed, the IVAR IVC21.22 requires minimal maintenance. Regular visual inspections should be carried out to check for signs of mechanical damage or leaks. The press-fit connection is designed to be leak-free and does not require re-tightening. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data. Any issues should be addressed by replacing the affected component or re-pressing the fitting if a leak is detected.

Frequently asked questions
