Elbow FF 90 - 6/4 "x6/4" IVAR.1560 G

Product detailed description

This 90° full flow elbow is commonly used in residential and commercial heating and plumbing systems to redirect the flow of water or other fluids. It is typically found in central heating systems, hot and cold water distribution, and sanitary installations. The fitting is designed for use in systems where a directional change is needed without restricting flow, making it suitable for applications where pressure drop must be minimised. The elbow is intended for use with threaded connections and is compatible with systems operating under moderate pressure and temperature conditions.

Installers working on systems that require a directional change in piping will find this elbow suitable for integration into copper or steel pipe systems. The full flow design ensures that the internal diameter of the elbow is the same as the connected pipe, reducing turbulence and maintaining flow efficiency. This makes it ideal for use in systems where consistent flow is critical, such as in underfloor heating or domestic hot water circuits.

Technical parameters

Material	Brass CW617N ATEST for drinking water
Operating temperature	+120 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 10
Code	1560G000808
Brand	IVAR

The elbow is rated for a nominal pressure of PN10, meaning it is suitable for systems operating at up to 10 bar. The maximum operating temperature is +120°C, making it suitable for hot water and heating applications. The CW617N brass material is certified for drinking water use, ensuring compliance with relevant standards for potable water systems. These parameters are essential for correct sizing and selection, particularly when matching the elbow to the system pressure and temperature conditions.Installation and connection The elbow is designed for threaded connections and should be installed using standard pipe threading techniques. The connection size is 6/4 inch, which corresponds to the internal diameter of the connected piping. During installation, it is important to ensure that the threads are clean and free from debris to prevent leaks. A suitable sealing compound or thread tape should be applied to the male threads before tightening. The elbow should be aligned properly to avoid stress on the connected pipes. Common installation mistakes include over-tightening the fitting, which can damage the threads, or failing to clean the threads before assembly.Compatibility and accessories This elbow is compatible with copper and steel piping systems that use threaded connections. It is intended for use with other IVAR fittings and components of the same material and pressure rating. When installing, it may be necessary to use sealing compounds or thread tape to ensure a watertight connection. No specific accessories are required for installation, but it is recommended to have standard plumbing tools available for threading and tightening.Technical background for designers The elbow operates as a directional change component in fluid systems, allowing for a 90° turn without significantly restricting flow. The full flow design ensures that the internal diameter of the elbow matches the connected piping, minimising turbulence and pressure loss. The CW617N brass material is known for its corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, making it suitable for use in both hot and cold water systems. The PN10 rating indicates that the elbow is suitable for systems operating at moderate pressure levels. The material's properties also ensure compatibility with potable water systems, as it is certified for drinking water use.Service and operation No specific maintenance is required for this elbow during normal operation. However, it is important to periodically check the connection for signs of leakage or corrosion. If any issues are detected, the fitting should be inspected and, if necessary, replaced. The elbow is designed for long-term use under the specified operating conditions, and no regular service intervals are required.Frequently asked questions
