Straight press couplings

This category includes press direct couplings designed for connecting ALPEX pipes of identical diameters. These fittings are suitable for use in heating and plumbing systems operating at a maximum temperature of +120 °C and pressure rating PN 10. The couplings are constructed from nickel-plated brass (CW617N), feature stainless steel sleeves, and EPDM seals for reliable sealing and corrosion resistance.

Typical applications include installation in residential and commercial heating systems, where ALPEX pipes are used for their flexibility and durability. These fittings ensure a secure and leak-free connection when used with the correct pressing tools and techniques.

How to choose

• Select the coupling size based on the outer diameter of the ALPEX pipe (e.g., 16x16, 20x20, etc.) to ensure compatibility.
• Confirm that the fitting is suitable for the intended system pressure (PN 10) and temperature (up to +120 °C).
• Ensure the coupling is used with ALPEX pipes of the same diameter to maintain system integrity.

Frequently asked questions

Can these couplings be used with copper or other pipe materials?
No, these couplings are specifically designed for ALPEX pipes and are not compatible with copper or other pipe types.

What pressing tools are required for installation?
Use a pressing tool compatible with IVAR.PT 5700 fittings to ensure a proper and secure connection.
