Intermediate jaw - for M42-M54 IVAR.ZB 203-M

Product detailed description

Intermediate jaws are essential components in the installation of copper and plastic piping systems, particularly in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. They are used in conjunction with electric hydraulic crimping tools to ensure secure and leak-free connections. Installers working on heating, plumbing and irrigation systems rely on these tools to achieve consistent and reliable crimps. The correct selection of intermediate jaws ensures compatibility with the crimping tool and the pipe size, which is critical for system integrity and long-term performance.

When working with copper or plastic piping, the crimping process must be precise to avoid deformation or damage to the pipe. The intermediate jaw is positioned between the main jaws of the crimping tool and the die, ensuring that the force is evenly distributed during the crimping operation. This is particularly important in systems where tight tolerances and high-pressure resistance are required, such as in heating and sanitary applications.

Technical parameters

Code	47587-50
Brand	IVAR

The technical parameters of this intermediate jaw are designed to ensure compatibility with M42 and M54 dies and the IVAR.ACO 203 XL BT crimping tool. The dimensions and material are selected to withstand repeated use and maintain accuracy over time. The correct selection of intermediate jaws is essential for achieving the required crimp profile and ensuring the integrity of the connection.

Installation and connection

To install the intermediate jaw, first ensure that the crimping tool is disconnected from the power source. The intermediate jaw is inserted into the tool’s jaw assembly and secured according to the manufacturer’s instructions. It is important to verify that the intermediate jaw is correctly aligned with the die to prevent misalignment during the crimping process. Common installation errors include incorrect jaw positioning or using incompatible dies, which can lead to poor crimp quality and potential system failures.

Compatibility and accessories

This intermediate jaw is specifically designed for use with the IVAR.ACO 203 XL BT electric hydraulic crimping tool and M42-M54 dies. It is not compatible with other crimping tools or dies outside of this range. When ordering, ensure that the correct set of dies and the crimping tool are also available. Additional accessories such as replacement seals or maintenance kits may be required for long-term use.

Technical background for designers

The intermediate jaw functions as a force-distributing component within the crimping tool. It is typically made from hardened steel to resist wear and deformation during repeated use. The design ensures that the force from the hydraulic system is evenly applied to the die, resulting in a uniform crimp profile. The material and geometry of the intermediate jaw influence the precision and durability of the crimping operation. Proper integration into the crimping system ensures that the tool operates efficiently and maintains accuracy over time.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the intermediate jaw is recommended to ensure that it remains free from damage or wear. Any signs of deformation or misalignment should be addressed immediately to prevent poor crimp quality. The jaw should be cleaned after each use to remove debris or residue that could affect performance. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data; however, it is advised to follow the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines for the crimping tool and associated components.
