Grommet - male thread - N - 54mm-R6/4" IVAR.IVN81

Product detailed description

This stainless steel grommet is commonly used in technical and medical installations, including heating systems, pressurised air systems, solar systems, and industrial applications. It provides a reliable connection between press-fit components and threaded fittings. Installers working in commercial and industrial buildings often use this component to ensure leak-free connections in systems operating under pressure. The grommet is suitable for environments where temperature fluctuations are expected, from cold to moderately hot conditions.

Its design ensures compatibility with press-fit systems that require a transition to threaded connections. The grommet is particularly useful in applications where the system includes both press-fit and threaded components, such as in sprinkler systems or industrial piping. The EPDM O-ring ensures a tight seal when properly installed, and the stainless steel construction provides resistance to corrosion and wear.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

The grommet is installed by connecting it to a press-fit pipe using a press tool, ensuring the press-fit indicator is fully engaged up to 54 mm. The male thread allows for connection to threaded fittings or valves. It is important to ensure that the O-ring is properly seated and undamaged before installation. Common installation mistakes include insufficient pressing depth or using a damaged O-ring, both of which can lead to leaks. Installers should verify the alignment of the thread and ensure that the connection is tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.

Compatibility and accessories

This grommet is compatible with press-fit stainless steel piping systems that use the same thread type. It is typically used in conjunction with press-fit fittings and threaded components. When installing, ensure that the press-fit system and the threaded components are from compatible manufacturers to avoid misalignment or leakage. No additional accessories are required for standard installation, but it is recommended to have spare O-rings on hand in case of damage or wear during installation.

Technical background for designers

The grommet functions as a transition piece between press-fit and threaded components. The stainless steel body provides structural integrity and resistance to corrosion, while the EPDM O-ring ensures a tight seal. The operating principle relies on the press-fit connection creating a secure and leak-free joint. The material properties of 1.4404 stainless steel make it suitable for use in environments with potential exposure to moisture or chemicals. The integration into the system depends on the system's pressure and temperature requirements, as well as the compatibility of the connected components. The service life and efficiency of the grommet are influenced by the quality of the installation and the operating conditions of the system.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the grommet is recommended to ensure the integrity of the connection. Check for signs of wear on the O-ring and any corrosion on the stainless steel body. If any damage is detected, the component should be replaced immediately. There are no specific service intervals provided, but it is advisable to inspect the connection during routine system maintenance. The grommet does not require lubrication or adjustment during normal operation.

Frequently asked questions

Can this grommet be used in solar heating systems?
Yes, it is suitable for solar heating systems as it can handle the temperature range and pressure conditions typical of such systems.

Is the grommet compatible with press-fit stainless steel pipes?
Yes, it is designed for use with press-fit stainless steel pipes and requires a press tool to ensure a secure connection.

Can the grommet be used in industrial gas systems?
Yes, it is suitable for inert gas systems provided the operating pressure and temperature are within the specified limits.

What should be checked during installation to prevent leaks?
Ensure the press-fit indicator is fully engaged and the O-ring is undamaged. Also, verify that the male thread is properly aligned with the mating component.
