Case - 25 FIV.07005

Product detailed description

Reinforcement sleeves are essential in installations where polyethylene (PE) piping is used in environments where mechanical stress or deformation could compromise the integrity of the system. These sleeves are commonly found in heating, plumbing, and irrigation systems in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Installers working with PE piping systems often encounter the need to reinforce pipe sections that pass through structural elements such as walls, floors or expansion joints. In such cases, the IVAR Case - 25 provides a durable and reliable solution to prevent pipe deformation under external pressure or movement.

The Case - 25 is particularly useful in systems where thermal expansion and contraction are significant, such as underfloor heating or hot water distribution. It ensures that the PE pipe remains stable and maintains its shape, even in fluctuating temperature conditions. The sleeve is installed at critical points where the pipe is at risk of being compressed or distorted by surrounding materials or structural elements.

Technical parameters

Material	Brass CW617N according to EN 12165
Operating temperature	-20 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 16
Code	I07005034
Brand	IVAR

The technical parameters of the IVAR Case - 25 are crucial for correct sizing and system compatibility. The nominal pressure rating of PN16 indicates that the sleeve is suitable for systems operating at pressures up to 16 bar. The operating temperature range from -20°C to +90°C ensures that it can be used in both cold and hot water applications. The material, CW617N brass, is selected for its strength and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for long-term use in a variety of environments.

Installation and connection

The installation of the IVAR Case - 25 involves placing the brass sleeve over the PE pipe at the point where reinforcement is required. The sleeve should be positioned so that it covers the entire section of the pipe that is at risk of deformation. It is important to ensure that the sleeve is fully seated and that the PE pipe is not twisted or bent during installation. Common mistakes include using sleeves that are too short for the application or failing to check that the PE pipe is free from kinks or damage before fitting the sleeve. The connection is purely mechanical and does not require any additional sealing or welding.

Compatibility and accessories

The IVAR Case - 25 is specifically designed for use with polyethylene (PE) pipes and is compatible with standard PE pipe diameters. It is intended to be used in conjunction with PE piping systems and should be selected based on the pipe size and the specific requirements of the installation. No additional accessories are required for the installation of this sleeve, as it functions independently once correctly fitted. It is recommended to verify the dimensions of the PE pipe before selecting the appropriate sleeve to ensure a secure fit.

Technical background for designers

The IVAR Case - 25 operates as a mechanical reinforcement for PE pipes, providing structural support to prevent deformation caused by external forces. The CW617N brass material is chosen for its high tensile strength and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor environments. The sleeve is designed to integrate seamlessly into PE piping systems, ensuring that the pipe remains stable and maintains its shape under varying thermal and mechanical conditions. The service life and efficiency of the sleeve depend on proper installation and the absence of mechanical stress on the PE pipe.

Service and operation

The IVAR Case - 25 requires no regular maintenance once installed correctly. However, it is important to periodically inspect the PE pipe and the sleeve for signs of wear, deformation or damage. Any visible distortion or movement of the PE pipe within the sleeve should be investigated and corrected if necessary. The sleeve is not designed to be removed or replaced under normal operating conditions, and any replacement should be carried out by a qualified technician.

Frequently asked questions
