Faced arc 30° - N - 15mm IVAR.IVN74

Product detailed description

This stainless steel 30° faced arc is commonly used in residential and commercial building installations such as heating systems, sanitary plumbing, fire sprinkler networks and industrial piping. Installers and technicians working with press-fit stainless steel systems will find this component suitable for directional changes in tight spaces. Its compact 30° bend allows for precise routing of pipes in confined areas, especially in underfloor heating circuits or behind walls. The component is designed for use with press-fit tools and is suitable for both new builds and system repairs.

The stainless steel construction ensures resistance to corrosion and thermal expansion, making it ideal for long-term use in environments with fluctuating temperatures. It is particularly suited for applications involving water, steam, inert gases and solar system fluids. The press-fit design eliminates the need for welding, reducing installation time and ensuring a leak-free connection when properly compressed.

Technical parameters

Material	Stainless steel grade Wst. Nr. 1.4404 (AISI 316L)
Operating temperature	-20 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 16
Code	IVN74.15
Brand	IVAR

The nominal pressure rating of PN 16 indicates suitability for medium-pressure systems, while the operating temperature range of -20 °C to +120 °C covers most domestic and industrial applications. These parameters help determine correct sizing and compatibility with other components in the system.Installation and connection The IVN74.15 is installed using standard press-fit tools calibrated for stainless steel. The pipe ends must be cleaned and free from burrs before insertion into the fitting. The press tool must be correctly aligned with the fitting to ensure even compression. A visual indicator shows when the press is complete. The fitting has a nominal diameter of 15 mm and connects via press-fit to other stainless steel pipes of the same size. Common installation errors include misalignment during pressing and failure to verify the sealing indicator after compression. Always double-check the fit and the visual confirmation mark to avoid leaks.Compatibility and accessories This 30° faced arc is compatible with other IVAR press-fit fittings and stainless steel pipes of the same nominal diameter. For complete system integration, ensure that all components are from the same press-fit system and are designed for the same operating conditions. Accessories such as press tools and calibration kits should be used according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to maintain connection integrity.Technical background for designers The 30° arc allows for directional changes in systems where space is limited. The stainless steel grade 1.4404 (AISI 316L) offers high corrosion resistance and is suitable for aggressive media. The press-fit connection relies on mechanical deformation of the fitting to create a tight seal. System efficiency depends on correct installation and alignment. Long-term performance is influenced by operating temperature and pressure, as well as the quality of the press-fit connection.Service and operation No regular maintenance is required for this fitting under normal operating conditions. However, during system inspections, check for signs of mechanical stress or deformation, especially near joints. Any visible damage or suspected leakage should be investigated immediately. If the visual seal indicator is not fully engaged, the connection must be repressed.Frequently asked questions
