FIREBAG fire protection fitting - threaded, 2" F x 2" F

Product detailed description

Fire protection fittings are essential components in gas supply systems where fire safety is a priority. These fittings are typically installed in residential, commercial and industrial buildings where gas lines run through areas with potential fire hazards. The fitting is integrated into the gas distribution network to isolate the supply in the event of a fire. Installers working on gas systems must ensure correct sizing and positioning to maintain system integrity and safety.

The FIREBAG fire protection fitting is specifically designed for gas applications and is intended for use in systems where fire resistance is required. It is commonly used in heating and plumbing systems where gas is the primary energy source. The fitting must be installed in accordance with relevant standards and guidelines to ensure it functions correctly during an emergency.

The nominal pressure rating of PN 5 indicates the maximum pressure the fitting can handle under normal operating conditions. The operating temperature range from -20°C to +60°C ensures the fitting remains functional in a wide range of ambient conditions. These parameters are critical for correct sizing and selection to match the system requirements and environmental conditions.Installation and connection This fitting features internal threads on both ends (FF), with a 2 inch nominal size. The installation process involves aligning the fitting with the gas line and securing it using standard pipe wrenches. It is essential to check the thread condition and apply a suitable sealing compound to ensure a leak-free connection. Common installation mistakes include incorrect thread alignment, insufficient tightening, or using incompatible sealing materials. Installers should also verify that the fitting is installed in a location accessible for inspection and maintenance.Compatibility and accessories This fire protection fitting is compatible with standard gas piping systems that use 2 inch internal threads. It is typically used in conjunction with other gas system components such as valves, regulators and piping. No specific accessories are required for installation, but it is recommended to use sealing compounds suitable for gas applications. Related products include other fire protection fittings from the IVAR TASK series, which are designed for similar applications and system requirements.Technical background for designers The FIREBAG fitting operates by releasing a closure element within the body when the ambient temperature reaches +100°C. This mechanism ensures that the gas supply is cut off to prevent further risk during a fire. The fitting is constructed from galvanised steel, which provides corrosion resistance and durability. The material properties ensure the fitting remains stable under normal operating conditions and activates reliably when required. The integration into the system depends on the gas line layout and the location of potential fire risks. The service life and efficiency are influenced by the installation quality, environmental conditions and regular inspection.Service and operation This fitting requires no regular maintenance under normal operating conditions. However, it is important to periodically inspect the fitting for signs of wear, corrosion or damage. Installers should check the thread condition and ensure the sealing compound remains intact. No specific service intervals are defined in the technical data, but it is recommended to include the fitting in routine system inspections to confirm its functionality.Frequently asked questions

Can the FIREBAG fitting be used in high-temperature environments?
The fitting is designed for normal operating temperatures up to +60°C. It is not intended for continuous use in high-temperature environments beyond this range.

How does the fire protection mechanism activate?
The closure element is released when the ambient temperature reaches +100°C, which triggers the sealing mechanism to prevent gas leakage.

Is this fitting suitable for use in industrial gas systems?
Yes, the fitting is suitable for use in both residential and industrial gas systems where fire protection is required.

Can the fitting be used with other pipe materials?
The fitting is compatible with standard gas piping systems that use 2 inch internal threads, regardless of the pipe material.
