Faced arc 90° - N - 22mm IVAR.IVN70

Product detailed description

This faced arc is suitable for integration into complex piping layouts requiring directional changes. It finds application in systems such as sanitary installations, heating circuits, fire suppression, compressed air lines, solar thermal systems and general industrial applications. Installers commonly use it in residential, commercial and industrial buildings where reliable and leak-free connections are essential. The stainless steel construction ensures compatibility with aggressive fluids and long-term durability.

The component is designed for press-fit assembly, allowing fast and accurate installation. It is frequently used in conjunction with stainless steel pipes and fittings of the same material class, ensuring uniform expansion and corrosion resistance. Careful attention must be paid during installation to ensure proper alignment and compression to prevent leaks and mechanical stress.

Technical parameters

The operating temperature range from -20°C to +120°C makes this fitting suitable for both cold and hot media applications. The nominal pressure rating of PN 16 indicates its suitability for medium-pressure systems. These parameters are essential for selecting the correct size and material when designing piping systems under varying conditions.

Installation and connection

• Ensure the pipe ends are clean and free from burrs before insertion.
• Align the pipe and fitting accurately to avoid angular misalignment.
• Use a dedicated pressing tool compatible with the IVAR system for secure and leak-free assembly.
• Check the fit after pressing using the manufacturer’s recommended inspection methods.

Compatibility and accessories

This faced arc is designed to work with IVAR stainless steel pipes of the same class and other fittings from the IVAR.IVN70 series. To complete the installation, additional components such as straight pipe segments, elbows and valves from the same system should be sourced. Ensure that all components are from the same production line to maintain system integrity and avoid galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.

Technical background for designers

The fitting functions by compressing a stainless steel sleeve around the pipe wall to form a tight seal. This press-fit method eliminates the need for welding, reducing installation time and labor costs. The material, 1.4404 stainless steel, offers high resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making it ideal for aggressive environments. Its mechanical properties support long-term stability under thermal cycling. The design allows for easy disassembly and reinstallation when required, provided the sealing sleeve remains undamaged.

Service and operation

During operation, ensure the system is regularly inspected for signs of leakage or mechanical damage. There are no scheduled service intervals specified, but visual checks should be performed during routine maintenance. Any suspected defects should be addressed immediately by replacing the affected component. Avoid subjecting the fitting to mechanical stress beyond its rated capacity to prevent failure.

Frequently asked questions

Can this faced arc be used with copper pipes?
No, it is specifically designed for stainless steel press-fit systems and may not provide a reliable connection with copper.

Is it possible to reuse the sealing sleeve after pressing?
No, once pressed, the sealing sleeve cannot be reused. A new sleeve is required for each installation.

What is the maximum allowable working temperature?
The maximum allowable working temperature is +120°C under normal operating conditions.

How can I verify that the pressing was successful?
A successful pressing results in a visible deformation of the sealing sleeve and meets the dimensional indicator specified by the manufacturer.
