GAS flat gasket - 42mm IVAR.IVPT.HNBR

Product detailed description

Flat gaskets are essential components in press-fit and threaded piping systems, ensuring leak-free connections in gas, heating, and industrial installations. Installers working in residential, commercial, and industrial settings frequently use these gaskets in applications such as gas supply lines, heating circuits, and compressed air systems. The IVAR I003241 is designed to provide a reliable seal in environments where the operating temperature can drop to -20°C. It is suitable for use in systems with a nominal pressure rating of PN10, making it appropriate for low to medium-pressure applications.

Correct selection and installation of flat gaskets are crucial for system integrity. The gasket must be compatible with the pipe material, connection type, and operating conditions. In installations involving gas or compressed air, the sealing properties and material resistance to environmental factors are particularly important. The IVAR I003241 is intended for use in press-fit and threaded systems, ensuring compatibility with standard installation practices and tools.

Technical parameters

Operating temperature	-20 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 10
Code	I003241
Brand	IVAR

The operating temperature of -20°C indicates that the gasket is suitable for use in cold environments, such as outdoor installations or unheated buildings. The nominal pressure rating of PN10 defines the maximum pressure the gasket can handle under normal operating conditions. These parameters are essential for determining the suitability of the gasket in specific applications and for ensuring compliance with system design requirements.

Installation and connection

The IVAR I003241 flat gasket is used in press-fit and threaded connections. During installation, the gasket must be placed between the mating surfaces of the pipe and fitting to ensure a tight seal. The connection must be made according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring that the gasket is not damaged during the pressing or threading process. Installers should verify that the gasket is correctly positioned and that the connection is fully seated. Common installation errors include using incorrect tools, applying excessive force, or failing to check the gasket for damage before installation.

Compatibility and accessories

The IVAR I003241 is compatible with press-fit and threaded systems using standard connection sizes. It is designed for use with pipes and fittings that meet the required specifications for gas and plumbing applications. When installing this gasket, ensure that all components, including the press-fit tools and threaded fittings, are compatible. No additional accessories are required for standard installations, but installers should always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific system requirements.

Technical background for designers

Flat gaskets function by creating a barrier between two mating surfaces, preventing leakage of fluids or gases. The IVAR I003241 is made of materials that provide good sealing properties and resistance to environmental factors. The gasket's design allows it to conform to the surface of the pipe and fitting, ensuring a tight seal even under pressure. The operating temperature range and nominal pressure rating are critical factors in determining the gasket's suitability for a particular application. The integration of the gasket into the system must be carefully planned to ensure that it does not become a weak point in the installation. Factors such as system pressure, temperature fluctuations, and the type of media being transported can affect the gasket's service life and performance.

Service and operation

The IVAR I003241 requires minimal maintenance under normal operating conditions. However, regular inspections should be carried out to check for signs of wear, damage, or leakage. If any issues are detected, the gasket should be replaced immediately to prevent system failure. There are no specific service intervals provided for this product, but it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance and inspection. During operation, ensure that the system is not subjected to conditions outside the specified parameters, as this can reduce the gasket's effectiveness and lifespan.
