Faced arc 90° - N - 76,1mm IVAR.IVN70

Product detailed description

This 90° faced arc is commonly used in industrial, commercial and technical installations where reliable and durable pipe connections are required. It is suitable for integration into heating systems, fire suppression systems, solar installations and pressurised air systems. The component is designed for use in environments where corrosion resistance and long-term stability are essential, such as in chemical or food processing facilities. The stainless steel construction ensures compatibility with a wide range of media, including inert gases and non-aggressive liquids.

As a press-fit component, it is typically used in systems where quick and secure connections are required without the need for welding. The faced arc is installed in straight pipe runs where a directional change is necessary, such as in underfloor heating circuits or in compact boiler room layouts. It is often found in systems where space is limited and precise alignment is critical to avoid stress on adjacent components.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

The faced arc is installed using a press-fit connection method, which requires a dedicated press tool and compatible press sleeves. The connection is made by inserting the pipe into the fitting and applying the press tool to the designated press zone. The internal thread (N) allows for connection to threaded components such as valves or meters. It is important to ensure that the pipe is fully inserted and aligned before pressing to avoid misalignment or leaks. A common mistake during installation is not verifying the correct press depth or using incorrect press sleeves, which can lead to a weak connection or system failure.

Compatibility and accessories

This faced arc is compatible with standard stainless steel pipe systems using press-fit technology. It is typically used in conjunction with press sleeves, press tools and other IVAR press fittings. For systems requiring threaded connections, it can be paired with threaded valves or regulators. No additional accessories are required for basic installation, but it is recommended to have a press tool and measuring instruments on site to ensure correct installation.

Technical background for designers

The faced arc functions as a directional change in the piping system, allowing for a 90° turn without the need for multiple fittings. The use of 1.4404 stainless steel ensures high corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, making it suitable for both aggressive and non-aggressive media. The material’s properties allow for long-term stability under varying temperature and pressure conditions. The integration of the component into the system depends on the overall layout and the need for directional changes. The service life and efficiency of the component are influenced by the quality of the press connection and the compatibility of the media with the stainless steel material.

Service and operation

Once installed, the faced arc requires no regular maintenance. However, it is important to periodically inspect the connection for signs of wear, misalignment or leaks. Any issues with the connection should be addressed immediately to prevent system failure. The component is designed for long-term use and does not require scheduled service intervals. In the event of a leak, the connection should be disassembled and re-pressed using the correct tools and sleeves.
