Elbow PUSH 90° - female thread - 20x3/4 "F IVAR.PUSH-KF

Product detailed description

This push elbow is commonly used in residential and commercial heating and plumbing systems where a 90° directional change is required. It is ideal for connecting ALPEX pipes to external threaded fittings without the need for crimping tools. The elbow is suitable for use in central heating, hot water distribution, and other low-pressure fluid systems where a secure and leak-free connection is essential. The brass construction and EPDM sealing ensure durability and compatibility with hot water and heating media.

Typical installation scenarios include underfloor heating systems, radiators, and domestic hot water circuits. The push connection allows for quick and tool-free installation, reducing fitting time and ensuring a reliable connection. The elbow is designed for use in systems operating at up to 120°C and PN 10 pressure levels, making it suitable for most standard heating and hot water applications.

The operating temperature of +120°C and nominal pressure of PN 10 are key factors in determining the suitability of this elbow for specific systems. These parameters ensure the fitting can handle typical heating system conditions, including hot water and steam-based systems. The brass CW617N material provides good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, while the EPDM seal ensures a tight connection under thermal expansion and contraction.Installation and connection The elbow features one push connection for ALPEX pipes and one 3/4 inch female thread. To install, insert the ALPEX pipe into the push connection until it seats fully. The stainless steel sleeve and EPDM seal will secure the pipe automatically. The 3/4 inch female thread allows for connection to external threaded fittings or valves. Ensure the pipe is cut cleanly and free of burrs before insertion. Common installation errors include insufficient insertion depth or using damaged or contaminated pipe ends, which can compromise the seal.Compatibility and accessories This elbow is specifically designed for use with ALPEX push-fit systems. It is compatible with standard 3/4 inch threaded fittings and valves. No additional tools are required for installation, but it is recommended to have spare EPDM seals on hand for replacement in case of damage. No related products are listed for this model.Technical background for designers The push-fit mechanism relies on a stainless steel sleeve and EPDM sealing ring to create a watertight connection. When the ALPEX pipe is inserted, the sleeve compresses the pipe wall, while the EPDM seal forms a tight barrier against leakage. The brass CW617N body provides structural integrity and resistance to thermal cycling. The elbow is suitable for integration into systems with moderate thermal expansion and is designed to maintain performance over the service life of the installation. The operating temperature and pressure limits are critical for ensuring long-term reliability and preventing material degradation.Service and operation No regular maintenance is required for this fitting under normal operating conditions. However, it is advisable to periodically inspect the connection for signs of leakage or mechanical damage. In the event of a failed seal, the elbow can be disassembled and the EPDM seal replaced. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data.Frequently asked questions

Can this elbow be used with copper or steel pipes?
No, it is specifically designed for ALPEX push-fit systems and is not compatible with copper or steel pipes.

Is it possible to install this elbow in a vertical position?
Yes, the elbow can be installed in any orientation as long as the connection is made correctly and the pipe is fully inserted.

Can the EPDM seal be replaced after installation?
Yes, the EPDM seal can be replaced if damaged or worn, provided the fitting is disassembled carefully.

Is this elbow suitable for steam systems?
It is not recommended for use in steam systems as the maximum operating temperature of +120°C may be exceeded in such applications.
