Bracket - for expansion vessel - diameter up to 460mm/max. 70kg; 1 "x1" IVAR.KONZOLA K2

Product detailed description

Expansion vessel brackets are essential components in heating and cooling systems where expansion vessels are used to accommodate thermal expansion of the system fluid. These vessels are commonly found in residential, commercial and industrial buildings, particularly in systems with closed-loop water circulation. Installers working on central heating systems, underfloor heating or refrigeration circuits often need to secure expansion vessels to walls or structural elements to prevent movement and ensure system stability. The IVAR K2 bracket is designed for such applications, providing a reliable mounting solution for vessels with diameters up to 460 mm and a maximum load capacity of 70 kg.

Correct bracket selection is crucial to ensure the vessel remains stable under varying thermal and hydraulic conditions. The bracket must be installed in a location that allows for easy access during maintenance and inspection. It is typically used in conjunction with expansion vessels that are part of a pressure-regulated system, where the vessel helps to maintain system pressure and prevent over-pressurisation. The bracket must be compatible with the vessel's dimensions and connection types to ensure secure and safe operation.

The maximum load capacity of 70 kg and diameter limit of 460 mm are key parameters for determining bracket suitability. These values ensure the bracket can support the weight and size of the expansion vessel without deformation or failure. The 1 inch threaded connections must align with the vessel's inlet and outlet ports to ensure a secure and leak-free installation.

Installation and connection

To install the IVAR K2 bracket, first position it on a solid surface such as a wall or structural beam. Secure the bracket using appropriate fasteners, ensuring it is level and stable. The vessel is then mounted onto the bracket using the 1 inch threaded connections. It is important to check that the vessel is aligned with the bracket and that all connections are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Common installation mistakes include using an undersized bracket for the vessel or failing to secure the bracket properly, which can lead to movement or failure under load.

Compatibility and accessories

This bracket is specifically designed for expansion vessels with 1 inch threaded connections. It is typically used in conjunction with expansion vessels from various manufacturers, provided they meet the size and load requirements. Additional components such as mounting screws or wall anchors may be required depending on the installation surface. No related products are specified for this bracket.

Technical background for designers

The IVAR K2 bracket is constructed from galvanised steel, which provides corrosion resistance and durability in typical operating environments. The bracket's design allows for even weight distribution across the mounting surface, reducing the risk of structural stress. When integrated into a system, the bracket must be positioned to allow for thermal expansion and contraction of the vessel. The bracket's load capacity and material properties are key factors in determining its service life and performance under varying operating conditions.

Service and operation

Routine inspection of the bracket and vessel is recommended to ensure continued stability and performance. Check for signs of corrosion, deformation or loosening of the mounting fasteners. If any issues are identified, the bracket should be replaced or repaired to prevent system failure. No specific service intervals are provided in the brief.

Frequently asked questions
