Grommet - with female thread and one plug-in end - N - 42mm-Rp6/4" IVAR.IVN86

Product detailed description

This stainless steel fitting is commonly used in residential and commercial building systems for connecting press-fit piping. It is suitable for applications such as sanitary installations, fire sprinkler systems, heating circuits, compressed air systems, solar thermal systems and industrial processes. The fitting is designed to handle a range of fluids and gases under controlled pressure and temperature conditions. Installers working on these systems will benefit from the durability and corrosion resistance of the stainless steel construction.

Its compact design allows for integration into tight spaces, making it ideal for both new installations and system modifications. The fitting is often used in conjunction with stainless steel piping and other compatible press-fit components to ensure a secure and long-lasting connection. The operating temperature range ensures compatibility with both cold and warm media, depending on the system requirements.

Technical parameters

The PN 16 rating indicates that the fitting is suitable for systems operating at a nominal pressure of 16 bar. The minimum operating temperature of -20°C ensures that the fitting can be used in cold environments without risk of material failure. These parameters are essential for correct sizing and selection in accordance with system design requirements.

Installation and connection

Installation involves connecting one end of the fitting to a pipe with a press-fit connection and the other to a threaded component. The fitting must be inserted into the pipe to the correct depth, ensuring that the internal thread aligns with the mating component. The press-fit connection requires a specific tool to compress the fitting onto the pipe, creating a leak-tight seal. It is important to verify that the pipe is cut cleanly and free of burrs before installation.

Common installation mistakes include incorrect insertion depth, failure to use the correct press tool, and misalignment of the internal thread. These can lead to leaks or premature failure of the connection. The fitting must be checked for proper seating and alignment after installation to ensure a secure fit.

Compatibility and accessories

This fitting is compatible with stainless steel piping systems and other press-fit components of the same material and thread type. It is intended for use with pipes that have an outer diameter of 42 mm and an internal thread of Rp6/4". Additional components such as press tools and sealing rings may be required for installation. No specific related products are required for this model.

Technical background for designers

The fitting functions by creating a mechanical and hydraulic seal between the pipe and the threaded component. The PN 16 rating ensures that the fitting can handle the pressure requirements of most heating and plumbing systems. The operating temperature range allows for use in both cold and warm environments, depending on the system design.

The service life of the fitting is influenced by factors such as the quality of the installation, the condition of the mating components and the operating conditions of the system. Proper installation and regular inspection can help to ensure long-term performance and reliability.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the fitting is recommended to ensure that the connection remains leak-tight and secure. Any signs of wear, corrosion or leakage should be addressed immediately. No specific service intervals are provided for this model, but it is advisable to check the fitting during routine system maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Can this fitting be used with copper piping?
No, this fitting is specifically designed for use with stainless steel piping and is not compatible with copper.

Is the fitting suitable for high-temperature applications?
The maximum operating temperature is +120°C, making it suitable for warm media but not for high-temperature steam or industrial heat transfer applications.

Can the fitting be used in solar thermal systems?
Yes, the fitting is suitable for solar thermal systems due to its resistance to corrosion and ability to handle a range of temperatures.

What tools are required for installation?
A press tool is required to compress the fitting onto the pipe and create a secure connection. The internal thread can be connected using standard pipe wrenches.
