Arch 90° - N - 42mm IVAR.IVN20

Product detailed description

Stainless steel 90° elbows are essential components in press-fit piping systems used in commercial and industrial buildings. They are commonly found in heating systems, medical equipment, and industrial gas and air distribution networks. These fittings allow for directional changes in pipe runs while maintaining system integrity. Installers working in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial sectors frequently use such components to create efficient and leak-free connections. The IVAR IVN20.42 is specifically designed for use in press-fit systems where stainless steel piping is required for durability and resistance to corrosion.

When installing press-fit systems, the correct selection of fittings is crucial to ensure compatibility with the pipe material and system pressure. This elbow is suitable for use in environments where the operating temperature ranges from -20°C to +85°C, with a maximum of +120°C. It is ideal for applications involving water, air, and other non-corrosive media. The fitting is designed to be used with press tools that compress the fitting onto the pipe, creating a secure and permanent connection.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation of the IVAR IVN20.42 requires a press tool compatible with the fitting's dimensions. The fitting is designed for press-fit connections and must be installed according to the manufacturer's guidelines. The connection size is 42 mm, and the fitting is intended for use with stainless steel pipes of the same diameter. Before installation, the pipe ends must be clean and free from burrs. The press tool must be set to the correct depth to ensure a full compression of the fitting onto the pipe. Common installation mistakes include incorrect tool positioning, which can lead to incomplete compression and potential leaks. After installation, the press mark should be clearly visible and cover the entire circumference of the fitting.

Compatibility and accessories

This 90° elbow is compatible with other components in the IVAR.IVN20 series of press-fit fittings. It is intended for use with stainless steel pipes of the same nominal diameter and must be used with press tools that are calibrated for the specified dimensions. No additional accessories are required for installation, but it is important to ensure that the press tool is in good working condition and that the correct tooling is used. The fitting is suitable for use in systems that require resistance to corrosion and high durability, such as medical and industrial applications.

Technical background for designers

This material is suitable for use in environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or high temperatures is expected. The EPDM O-ring provides a reliable seal that remains effective over a wide temperature range. The press-fit design allows for quick and secure installation without the need for additional sealing materials. The fitting is designed to integrate seamlessly into press-fit systems, where it can be used to create directional changes in the piping layout. The operating life of the fitting is influenced by the quality of the installation, the condition of the press tool, and the compatibility of the system media with the materials used.

Service and operation

Once installed, the IVAR IVN20.42 requires minimal maintenance. The press-fit connection is designed to be permanent and does not require regular inspection or adjustment. However, it is important to ensure that the system is operating within the specified temperature and pressure limits. In the event of a suspected leak or failure, the fitting should be inspected for signs of damage or improper installation. No specific service intervals are required for this component, as it is intended for long-term use in press-fit systems.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IVAR IVN20.42 be used in medical gas systems?
Yes, the fitting is suitable for use in medical-technical applications, provided the system media and operating conditions are within the specified limits.

Is the fitting compatible with press tools from other manufacturers?
Compatibility depends on the tool's specifications. The fitting must be installed with a press tool that is calibrated for the correct depth and diameter.

Can the fitting be used in solar heating systems?
Yes, the fitting is suitable for use in solar systems as long as the operating temperature does not exceed the maximum specified limit of +120°C.

What is the maximum allowable operating pressure for this fitting?
The fitting is rated for a nominal pressure of PN 16, which corresponds to a maximum operating pressure of 16 bar under standard conditions.
