Cross, 2"

Product detailed description

IVAR cross fittings are commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing systems where multiple pipe branches converge. These fittings are essential in applications such as central heating, water supply, and sanitation systems. Installers and technicians frequently use them to create stable and leak-free connections in complex pipe layouts. The CW617N brass construction ensures durability and compliance with potable water standards, making it suitable for use in drinking water systems.

When installing these fittings, it is important to ensure that all connections are properly aligned and tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Cross fittings are often used in conjunction with valves, meters, and other pipe components to maintain system integrity. The PN10 pressure rating ensures that the fitting can handle standard operating pressures in most plumbing and heating applications.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation of the IVAR 2 inch cross fitting involves aligning the threaded connections with the corresponding pipe ends. The fitting is typically connected using standard pipe threads, and it is important to use appropriate sealing materials such as PTFE tape or thread sealant to prevent leaks. Installers should verify that the threads are clean and undamaged before tightening. Common installation mistakes include over-tightening, which can damage the threads, and using incompatible sealing materials that may degrade over time.

Compatibility and accessories

This cross fitting is compatible with standard brass and steel pipes with matching thread sizes. It is often used in conjunction with valves, meters, and other pipe components to create a complete system. When installing, it may be necessary to order additional sealing materials or thread protectors to ensure a secure and leak-free connection. No specific related products are required for this model.

Technical background for designers

The IVAR cross fitting operates by connecting four pipe branches at right angles, allowing for the distribution of fluids in multiple directions. The PN10 pressure rating ensures that the fitting can handle standard operating pressures without deformation or failure. The operating temperature of +120°C is suitable for hot water and heating systems, and the potable water certification ensures that it is safe for use in drinking water applications.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the fitting is recommended to ensure that there are no signs of corrosion or leakage. If any issues are detected, the fitting should be replaced immediately. No specific service intervals are provided for this model, but it is important to monitor the system for any changes in performance or pressure. Proper maintenance of the surrounding system components can help to extend the service life of the fitting.
