Elbow PUSH 90° - male thread - 20x1/2 "M IVAR.PUSH-KM

Product detailed description

This push elbow is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing and heating installations where ALPEX piping systems are connected to internal threaded fittings. It is suitable for applications such as domestic hot and cold water supply, central heating circuits, and underfloor heating systems. The fitting allows for quick and tool-free installation, reducing time and effort during pipe assembly. It is particularly useful in tight spaces or where frequent disassembly is not required.

Its compact design and robust materials make it ideal for use in both new constructions and renovation projects. The elbow ensures a secure and leak-free connection, even in systems with fluctuating pressure and temperature conditions. It is compatible with standard ALPEX piping systems and integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure without the need for additional tools or complex procedures.

The operating temperature of +120 °C makes this elbow suitable for hot water systems and heating circuits. The PN 10 rating indicates it can handle nominal pressures up to 10 bar, which is standard for most domestic and light commercial applications. The brass CW617N material ensures good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, while the EPDM sealing provides reliable sealing properties in a wide range of temperatures.Installation and connection To install the elbow, first ensure the ALPEX pipe is cut cleanly and deburred. Insert the pipe into the push connection of the elbow until it reaches the stop. The internal sleeve and sealing will grip the pipe securely. The male thread end is then screwed into the corresponding internal thread of the fitting or component. Always verify that the pipe is fully inserted and that the connection is tightened to the correct torque if applicable. Common installation mistakes include insufficient insertion depth of the pipe into the push connection, which can lead to leaks or disconnection. It is also important to avoid over-tightening the threaded connection, which may damage the threads or the fitting. Always check for alignment and ensure that the fitting is not subjected to bending or torsion after installation.

Compatibility and accessories

This push elbow is specifically designed for use with ALPEX piping systems. It is compatible with standard internal threaded fittings and components of 1/2 inch size. For a complete installation, ensure that the ALPEX pipe is of the correct diameter (20 mm) and that all other fittings in the system are also compatible with the same system. Additional accessories may include pipe cutters, deburring tools, and thread sealants if required by the system. No special tools are needed for the push connection itself, making it a convenient option for installers.

Technical background for designers

This elbow operates on the push-fit principle, where the internal sleeve and EPDM sealing compress around the pipe to create a watertight seal. The brass body provides structural integrity and resistance to corrosion, while the stainless steel sleeve ensures long-term durability and mechanical stability. The elbow is designed to maintain a consistent flow path with minimal turbulence, which is important for maintaining system efficiency. The PN 10 rating and +120 °C operating temperature make it suitable for a wide range of applications, including hot water distribution and heating systems. The choice of materials and design ensures compatibility with standard plumbing and heating media, including potable water and glycol-based solutions. The elbow's compact size and ease of installation make it a preferred choice in systems where space is limited or where frequent access is not required.

Service and operation

This elbow requires minimal maintenance due to its robust design and durable materials. Regular visual inspections should be carried out to check for signs of wear, corrosion, or leakage. If any issues are detected, the fitting should be replaced immediately to prevent system failure. During operation, ensure that the system pressure and temperature remain within the specified limits. Avoid subjecting the fitting to mechanical stress or excessive bending, which can compromise the integrity of the connection. In the event of disassembly, the push connection can be released using a dedicated push-fit removal tool if necessary.

Frequently asked questions

Can this elbow be used with other types of piping besides ALPEX?
No, it is specifically designed for ALPEX piping systems and is not compatible with other types of push-fit or compression piping.

Can this elbow be used in a system with glycol-based media?
Yes, the materials used in this elbow are suitable for use with glycol-based media, provided the temperature and pressure remain within the specified limits.

Is a special tool required for installation?
No special tools are required for the push connection. However, a standard wrench may be needed to tighten the threaded end if required by the system.
