Fire protection fitting PRESS-GAS - corner - 1 "Mx32 IVAR.TASK 511

Product detailed description

Gas installations in commercial and residential buildings often require secure and fire-resistant connections where the pipe system transitions from a structural element to an internal run. In such cases, the IVAR PRESS-GAS corner fitting provides a reliable solution for connecting ALPEX-GAS pipes to internal male threads. This fitting is commonly used in heating and gas supply systems where the integrity of the connection is critical for safety and compliance with technical standards. The installation involves ensuring correct alignment and secure pressing of the fitting to the pipe, with particular attention to the sealing properties and material compatibility.

The fitting is designed for use in systems where the gas line exits a structural component and continues as a free internal run. It is suitable for use in both new and retrofit applications, particularly in environments where fire resistance is a key requirement. The operating conditions must be within the specified temperature and pressure limits to ensure the fitting performs as intended.

Technical parameters

Operating temperature	-20 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 10
Weight	0.494 kg
Code	TASK511013GAS
Brand	IVAR

The operating temperature range of -20 °C to +60 °C ensures the fitting is suitable for use in a wide range of environments, including cold storage areas and heated spaces. The nominal pressure rating of PN 10 indicates the maximum pressure the fitting can withstand under normal operating conditions. These parameters are essential for correct sizing and selection, particularly in systems where pressure and temperature fluctuations are expected.Installation and connection The installation procedure involves aligning the fitting with the internal male thread and pressing it securely into place. The connection size is 1 inch male thread by 32 mm, and it is important to ensure the thread is clean and undamaged before assembly. The fitting must be pressed using the appropriate tool to ensure a tight and leak-free connection. Common installation mistakes include incorrect alignment, insufficient pressing force, and failure to check the sealing surface for damage. After installation, the connection should be inspected for any visible defects and tested for leaks using appropriate methods.Compatibility and accessories This fitting is specifically designed for use with ALPEX-GAS pipes and is compatible with internal male threads of the specified size. For a complete installation, it may be necessary to order additional fittings such as straight or T-shaped connections, depending on the system layout. The fitting is not interchangeable with other types of press fittings and must be used in conjunction with the correct tools and materials to ensure proper function and safety.Technical background for designers The operating principle of the IVAR PRESS-GAS corner fitting is based on the mechanical pressing of the fitting onto the pipe, creating a secure and sealed connection. The galvanised steel body provides corrosion resistance, while the CW617N brass components offer durability and compatibility with gas media. The HNBR sealing material is selected for its resistance to gas and temperature extremes. The integration of the fitting into the system depends on correct alignment and pressing, as well as the overall system pressure and temperature conditions. The service life of the fitting is influenced by the quality of the installation, the operating conditions, and the maintenance practices followed.Service and operation The fitting requires minimal maintenance under normal operating conditions. Regular inspections should be carried out to check for signs of corrosion, wear, or leakage. The connection should be visually inspected for any damage or deformation that could affect its integrity. If any issues are detected, the fitting should be replaced immediately. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, but it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for periodic checks and maintenance.Frequently asked questions

Can the IVAR PRESS-GAS corner fitting be used with other types of gas pipes?
No, this fitting is specifically designed for use with ALPEX-GAS pipes and is not compatible with other pipe types.

Is the fitting suitable for use in high-temperature environments?
The maximum operating temperature is +60 °C, so it is not suitable for environments exceeding this limit.

What tools are required for installation?
An appropriate pressing tool is required to ensure the fitting is securely attached to the pipe.

Can the fitting be used in systems with pressure higher than PN 10?
No, the nominal pressure rating is PN 10, and the fitting should not be used in systems exceeding this pressure.
