Connection fitting - for flat gasket - N - G 5/4"-15mm; brass IVAR.IVN60

Product detailed description

This connection fitting is commonly used in industrial and commercial buildings for connecting press-fit stainless steel piping systems. It is suitable for applications involving water-based media, such as heating systems, solar circuits, and technical installations requiring reliable sealing. The fitting ensures secure connections in environments exposed to fluctuating temperatures and pressures. Installers working on new builds or system upgrades will find this component essential for ensuring leak-free joints in press-fit stainless steel systems.

The fitting is typically used in closed-loop systems where flat gasket sealing is required. It is installed between a press-fit pipe end and a slip-on nut, ensuring a tight seal through the EPDM O-ring. Proper installation requires attention to alignment and the correct insertion depth, particularly when integrating into larger pipe networks.

Technical parameters

Material	Stainless steel grade Wst. Nr. 1.4404 (AISI 316L), O-ring EPDM
Operating temperature	-20 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 16
Code	IVN60.1514
Brand	IVAR

The nominal pressure rating of PN 16 indicates the maximum pressure the fitting can handle under normal operating conditions. The operating temperature range allows for use in both cold and warm water systems. These parameters are critical for selecting the correct component in accordance with system design requirements and ensuring long-term performance.Installation and connection To install the fitting, align the press-fit pipe end with the fitting body and insert it fully until the stop is reached. Ensure the sealing surface is clean and free of debris. Apply the slip-on nut over the fitting and tighten according to the manufacturer’s torque specifications. Check the alignment of the joint to avoid misalignment that could cause leakage. Common installation errors include insufficient insertion depth or incorrect tightening of the slip-on nut, which can compromise the seal.Compatibility and accessories This fitting is compatible with stainless steel press-fit pipes of the same size and system. To complete the installation, additional components such as slip-on nuts and press-fit tools are required. Ensure all parts are from the same system to maintain compatibility and prevent leaks. Accessories should be sourced from the same brand to ensure consistent quality and performance.Technical background for designers The fitting operates by creating a sealed connection between two pipe ends using a flat gasket and an EPDM O-ring. The stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance, making it suitable for aggressive environments. The material properties ensure durability and compatibility with a wide range of fluids. Integration into the system requires careful planning to account for thermal expansion and contraction. The service life of the fitting is influenced by the quality of the installation, the condition of the sealing surfaces, and the operating conditions within the system.Service and operation Regular inspection of the connection for signs of wear or leakage is recommended. Check the sealing surfaces for damage and ensure the slip-on nut remains securely tightened. No scheduled service intervals are specified; however, any anomalies should be addressed immediately to prevent system failure.Frequently asked questions
