Faced arc 15° - N - 15mm IVAR.IVN75

Product detailed description

This stainless steel faced arc is commonly used in industrial, heating, and plumbing installations where directional changes in piping are required. It is frequently found in solar systems, fire suppression systems, and sanitary installations. Installers typically work with this component during system layout and pipe routing to ensure smooth flow and minimal turbulence. Its robust construction allows it to be integrated into high-pressure environments while maintaining structural integrity.

The 15° bend is suitable for applications requiring gradual directional shifts, particularly in compact spaces where sharp turns could restrict fluid dynamics. It is often part of larger press-fitting systems where precision and leak-free connections are critical. The component is compatible with various system configurations and is selected based on operational requirements such as pressure levels and temperature ranges.

Technical parameters

The operating temperature range ensures suitability for both cold and warm water systems, with a maximum limit of +120 °C. The nominal pressure rating of PN 16 defines the maximum allowable working pressure for system design and component selection. These parameters are essential for ensuring the component functions safely and effectively within its intended application environment.

Installation and connection

Before installation, verify that the pipe ends are clean and free of debris to ensure a secure press fit. The connection is made using a press tool calibrated to the specified dimensions. Ensure the indicator mark aligns with the correct position on the fitting to confirm proper compression. Common installation errors include misalignment of the indicator and incorrect tool calibration, which can lead to leaks or premature failure. Always double-check the fit after pressing and inspect for any visible gaps or irregularities.

Compatibility and accessories

This faced arc is designed to work with press-fit stainless steel piping systems. For complete system integration, it should be used alongside other compatible fittings and pipes of the same material and size. Additional components such as straight couplings, elbows, and tees may be required depending on the system layout. No specific accessories are required for standard installation, but ensure all components are from the same manufacturer for guaranteed compatibility.

Technical background for designers

The 15° bend is engineered to reduce flow resistance compared to sharper angles, making it ideal for applications where maintaining flow efficiency is important. Its integration into the system depends on the overall hydraulic design, including pipe diameters, flow rates, and pressure drops. Long-term performance is influenced by the quality of the press fit and the absence of stress points caused by poor alignment.

Service and operation

During operation, ensure the system is regularly inspected for signs of wear or leakage, particularly around the press-fit joints. Any visible damage or deformation should be addressed immediately. Since the component does not require scheduled maintenance, service is generally limited to visual checks and pressure testing as part of routine system maintenance. There are no defined service intervals for this component.

Frequently asked questions

Can the faced arc be used in solar heating systems?
Yes, it is suitable for solar heating systems due to its ability to handle temperatures up to +120 °C and its resistance to corrosion.

Is the faced arc compatible with other press-fit stainless steel fittings?
Yes, it is designed to be used with other press-fit stainless steel fittings of the same system, provided they are from the same manufacturer and series.

What is the maximum working pressure for this faced arc?
The nominal pressure rating is PN 16, meaning it can handle up to 16 bar of working pressure under normal operating conditions.

How is the correct installation confirmed?
A properly compressed fit is indicated when the indicator mark aligns with the designated position on the fitting, confirming that the press tool has been correctly applied.
