Bushing PRESS-GAS - cap nut, 3/4" F x 20

Product detailed description

Gas distribution systems in residential and commercial buildings require reliable connections between flexible and rigid piping components. Installers and technicians working on gas supply lines frequently encounter the need to connect ALPEX-GAS pipe to threaded fittings. The IVAR 510078MPGAS bushing provides a secure and leak-tight transition between these components, ensuring system integrity and compliance with safety standards.

This bushing is typically used in gas supply lines for heating and ventilation systems. It is installed in locations where a rigid connection to a threaded component is required, such as valves, regulators or other fittings. The flat sealing design ensures a tight connection without the need for additional sealing materials, simplifying the installation process.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

The IVAR 510078MPGAS bushing is installed by connecting the ALPEX-GAS pipe to the bushing using a press-fit tool. The external thread (3/4 inch) is then connected to the corresponding threaded component. It is important to ensure that the pipe is correctly positioned within the bushing and that the flat sealing surface is undamaged. Common installation mistakes include improper press-fit depth and failure to clean the sealing surface before assembly.

Compatibility and accessories

This bushing is specifically designed for use with ALPEX-GAS pipe and is compatible with standard 3/4 inch external thread fittings. For a complete installation, the appropriate press-fit tool and ALPEX-GAS pipe must be available. No additional sealing materials are required due to the flat sealing design.

Technical background for designers

The bushing operates by creating a mechanical and sealing connection between the flexible ALPEX-GAS pipe and a rigid threaded component. The CW617N brass material provides good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, ensuring long-term reliability. The HNBR sealing material is chosen for its compatibility with gas media and resistance to temperature variations. The design allows for easy integration into existing gas supply systems while maintaining system integrity and safety.

Service and operation

Regular visual inspections are recommended to ensure the integrity of the connection. Any signs of leakage or damage to the sealing surface should be addressed immediately. The flat sealing design minimizes the need for maintenance, but it is important to ensure that the connection remains clean and free from debris during operation.
