Gas ball valve G24 - with integrated pressure plug - 1"; corner off-axis IVAR.G24-R

Product detailed description

The IVAR G24 gas ball valve with integrated pressure plug is commonly used in residential and commercial gas distribution systems. It is installed in gas lines to allow for pressure testing and leak detection during system commissioning and routine maintenance. The valve is designed for use in systems operating within a temperature range of -20°C to +60°C and is suitable for applications where periodic pressure checks are required to ensure system integrity.

As a key component in gas distribution systems, this valve is installed at strategic points to facilitate pressure testing without the need for additional components. It is particularly useful in systems that require compliance with STN EN 1775/2008 and other relevant standards for gas system safety and integrity. The valve's design allows for safe and efficient pressure checks without the need for professional qualifications for certain operations, making it a practical solution for installers and technicians.

The operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C ensures compatibility with a wide range of ambient and system conditions. The PN 5 rating indicates the valve is suitable for low-pressure gas systems. These parameters are essential for proper sizing and selection to ensure the valve functions correctly within the intended operating environment.Installation and connection The valve is installed using standard 1 inch pipe connections. It is important to verify the connection type and ensure compatibility with the existing piping system. Common installation errors include incorrect orientation or failure to align the valve with the system flow. The valve should be positioned to allow easy access for pressure testing and inspection. The off-axis corner design provides flexibility in tight spaces, but installers should ensure there is sufficient clearance for operation and maintenance.Compatibility and accessories The valve is compatible with standard gas piping systems using 1 inch connections. No additional accessories are required for basic installation. However, for pressure testing, a suitable measuring adapter and pressure gauge may be needed. These components are not included with the valve and must be sourced separately.Technical background for designers The valve operates as a ball valve with an integrated pressure plug, allowing for the measurement of operating pressure and system leak testing. The brass construction provides good corrosion resistance and durability in gas environments. The TECOBLOCK® safety system prevents accidental opening, ensuring secure operation. The valve's design allows for pressure checks without the need for gas system shutdown or professional intervention for certain operations, which enhances system availability and reduces maintenance complexity.Service and operation The valve requires no regular maintenance beyond routine visual inspections. The integrated pressure plug allows for pressure testing without the need for disassembly or gas release, which simplifies the process. The system should be checked for leaks and proper operation during routine maintenance. No specific service intervals are defined in the provided information.Frequently asked questions

Can the pressure plug be removed without professional qualifications?
Yes, the pressure plug can be removed and a measuring adapter installed without requiring professional qualifications for installation or repair, as the operation does not involve gas release.

Is the valve suitable for high-pressure gas systems?
No, the valve is rated for PN 5 and is suitable for low-pressure gas systems only. It is not designed for high-pressure applications.

Can the valve be used in systems with temperatures below -20°C?
No, the valve is specified for use in systems with a minimum operating temperature of -20°C. Use below this temperature is not recommended.

Does the valve require special tools for installation?
No, the valve can be installed using standard tools for 1 inch pipe connections. No special tools are required for basic installation or pressure plug operations.
