Bracket - for expansion tank - diameter up to 460mm/max. 70kg; 3/4 "x3/4" IVAR.KONZOLA K

Product detailed description

Expansion tank brackets are essential components in hydronic systems for maintaining stable pressure and preventing mechanical stress. This IVAR bracket is commonly used in residential and commercial heating systems, including underfloor heating and central heating installations. Installers working on closed-loop systems with expansion tanks will find this bracket suitable for securing tanks of various sizes. The zinc-plated construction provides corrosion resistance for long-term reliability in wet environments.

The bracket is particularly useful in systems where space constraints require careful positioning of the expansion tank. It ensures the tank remains stable and properly aligned with the connecting piping. The maximum load capacity allows for use with a wide range of standard expansion tank models. The 3/4 inch threaded connections are compatible with standard pipe fittings used in European plumbing systems.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation begins with positioning the bracket at the designated location on the wall or support structure. The 3/4 inch threaded connections require appropriate pipe fittings for secure attachment to the tank and piping system. Installers should ensure the bracket is level and securely fastened to prevent movement during operation. Common installation mistakes include improper alignment with the tank's mounting points and insufficient tightening of the connection fittings. It is important to verify that the bracket can support the full weight of the tank when filled with water.

Compatibility and accessories

This bracket is designed for use with expansion tanks that have 3/4 inch threaded connections. It is compatible with standard expansion tanks used in heating and cooling systems. For complete installation, additional components such as pipe fittings, sealing washers, and wall mounting hardware may be required. Installers should ensure all components are properly sized and compatible with the tank model being used.

Technical background for designers

The bracket functions by providing mechanical support for the expansion tank, which is essential for maintaining system pressure stability. The zinc-plated material offers good corrosion resistance while maintaining structural integrity. The bracket's design allows for proper alignment with the tank's connection points, ensuring even weight distribution. The load capacity of 70kg ensures the bracket can support the tank when filled with water. The bracket's dimensions and connection type make it suitable for integration into standard heating and cooling systems.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the bracket's connections and mounting points is recommended to ensure continued stability. Installers should check for signs of corrosion or mechanical stress that could affect the bracket's load-bearing capacity. No specific service intervals are required for this component. If the bracket shows signs of wear or damage, it should be replaced to maintain system safety and performance.

Frequently asked questions

Can this bracket be used with tanks larger than 460mm diameter?
No, the bracket is specifically designed for tanks with maximum diameter of 460mm. Using it with larger tanks could exceed its load capacity and compromise stability.

Is this bracket suitable for vertical installation?
Yes, the bracket can be installed vertically as long as the tank's weight and dimensions remain within the specified limits. Proper alignment with the tank's mounting points is essential for stability.

Can the bracket be used with non-standard tank models?
As long as the tank has 3/4 inch threaded connections and fits within the 460mm diameter and 70kg weight limits, the bracket should be compatible. Installers should verify these parameters before installation.

What type of wall mounting is required for this bracket?
The bracket requires secure wall mounting using appropriate fasteners based on the wall type. The mounting points should be able to support the full weight of the tank when filled with water.
