IVAR Alpex Isol disc 16 x 2; 6 mm, 806171050

Product detailed description

This IVAR Alpex Isol disc is commonly used in residential and commercial heating and plumbing systems. It is suitable for applications where thermal insulation and structural integrity are required. The disc is typically installed in underfloor heating systems, central heating circuits, and water distribution lines. The product is designed for use in environments where the operating temperature remains constant at 95°C and the system pressure does not exceed PN 10. It is commonly used by installers working on new builds or system upgrades where long-term reliability is essential.

The disc is supplied in a 100 m coil, making it suitable for large-scale installations. It is designed to be connected using either crimping with IVAR.TA, RA fittings or press-fit connections with IVAR.PT, PPSU fittings. The insulation layer provides thermal efficiency and reduces heat loss in the system.

The operating temperature of +95°C and PN 10 pressure rating are essential for determining the suitability of this disc for specific applications. These parameters ensure the product can handle typical heating and water system loads without deformation or failure. The insulation thickness of 6 mm contributes to the thermal efficiency of the system and is a key factor in sizing and insulation planning.

Installation and connection

The IVAR Alpex Isol disc is installed using either crimping or press-fit methods. For crimping, the installer must use the appropriate IVAR.TA or RA fittings and a compatible crimping tool. For press-fit connections, the IVAR.PT or PPSU fittings are used with a press tool. The connection sizes must be verified to match the disc’s outer diameter. During installation, it is important to ensure the insulation layer is not damaged and that the connection is fully seated. Common mistakes include using incorrect fittings or failing to check the alignment of the pipe and fitting before pressing or crimping.

Compatibility and accessories

This disc is compatible with IVAR.TA, RA, and PT/PPSU fitting ranges. For installation, the appropriate crimping or pressing tools must be available. Accessories such as crimping rings, pressing dies, and cutting tools are required for a complete installation. No specific alternative products are listed for this model.

Technical background for designers

The IVAR Alpex Isol disc consists of a polyethylene pipe reinforced with an aluminium layer and a low-density polyethylene insulation. This combination provides good thermal insulation and mechanical strength. The polyurethane foam insulation is covered with a protective layer to prevent damage during handling and installation. The system integrates into standard heating and water distribution systems and is suitable for use with conventional heating sources. The service life and efficiency of the system depend on correct installation, proper insulation, and the absence of mechanical stress or thermal cycling beyond the specified limits.

Service and operation

No specific service intervals are provided for this product. During operation, it is important to inspect the connections for leaks and to ensure the insulation remains intact. If the insulation is damaged, it should be repaired or replaced to maintain thermal efficiency. The system should be pressure tested after installation to confirm the integrity of the connections.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IVAR Alpex Isol disc be connected to IVAR.PT fittings?
Yes, the disc can be connected using press-fit fittings from the IVAR.PT or PPSU range. A compatible press tool is required for the connection.

What is the maximum operating temperature for this disc?
The maximum operating temperature is +95°C, as specified in the technical data. Exceeding this temperature may affect the integrity of the insulation and the pipe.

Is the insulation thickness sufficient for underfloor heating applications?
The 6 mm insulation thickness is suitable for standard underfloor heating systems. It provides adequate thermal efficiency for most residential and commercial applications.

Can this disc be used in water supply systems?
Yes, the disc is suitable for use in water supply systems where the operating temperature does not exceed 95°C and the pressure remains within the PN 10 limit.
