Arch 90° - N - 22mm IVAR.IVN20

Product detailed description

This 90° elbow is commonly used in heating, plumbing, and industrial systems where reliable and durable connections are required. It is suitable for installation in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. The elbow is designed for use in press-fit systems, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection when properly installed. It is often used in conjunction with stainless steel pipes and fittings to create complex piping layouts in heating and sanitary applications.

Installers and technicians working on heating systems, fire sprinklers, and industrial piping will find this elbow suitable for a wide range of applications. It is particularly useful in systems where corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength are required. The elbow is compatible with press-fit tools and systems designed for stainless steel piping, ensuring a consistent and reliable installation process.

Technical parameters

Material	Stainless steel grade 1.4404 (AISI 316L), EPDM sealing ring
Operating temperature	-20 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 16
Code	IVN20.22
Brand	IVAR

The elbow is rated for a nominal pressure of PN 16 and can operate within a temperature range of -20 °C to +85 °C, with a maximum of +120 °C. These parameters are essential for selecting the correct elbow for a given system, ensuring compatibility with the operating conditions and system design. The material properties of stainless steel 1.4404 and the EPDM sealing ring contribute to the elbow's durability and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for long-term use in a variety of environments.

Installation and connection

The IVAR IVN20.22 is a press-fit elbow and requires a compatible press tool for installation. The connection is made by inserting the pipe into the fitting and applying the press tool to the designated press zone. It is important to ensure that the pipe is fully inserted and that the press tool is correctly aligned to avoid misalignment or incomplete pressing. The elbow is designed for a 22 mm nominal diameter and must be used with pipes of the same size. During installation, the installer should check that the O-ring is correctly seated and that the press mark is fully formed. Common installation mistakes include using the wrong press tool, insufficient pressing force, or failing to check the press mark after installation.

Compatibility and accessories

This elbow is compatible with stainless steel pipes of 22 mm nominal diameter and press-fit systems designed for stainless steel. It is intended for use with press tools that are suitable for the specified material and dimensions. When installing this elbow, it is necessary to ensure that the entire system uses compatible press-fit fittings and tools. No additional accessories are required for standard installation, but it is important to verify that the system includes all necessary components for a complete and secure connection.

Technical background for designers

The elbow functions as a directional change in the piping system, allowing for the redirection of fluid or gas flow at a 90° angle. The stainless steel material provides high mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in aggressive environments. The EPDM sealing ring ensures a tight and leak-free connection when the fitting is properly pressed. The elbow is designed to integrate seamlessly into press-fit systems, where it can be used in conjunction with other fittings and components to create a fully sealed and durable piping network. The service life and efficiency of the elbow depend on proper installation, correct system design, and the operating conditions within the system.

Service and operation

The elbow requires minimal maintenance due to its durable construction and corrosion-resistant materials. There are no specific service intervals required for this component. During routine inspections, it is recommended to check for signs of wear, damage, or leakage at the connection points. If any issues are detected, the elbow should be replaced immediately to prevent system failure. The integrity of the press connection should be visually inspected to ensure that the press mark is intact and that there are no signs of deformation or misalignment.
