Liquid thermostatic head - M30x1,5; white IVAR.T 3000

Product detailed description

Liquid thermostatic heads are commonly used in residential and commercial heating systems to regulate the temperature of individual radiators. These heads are installed on thermostatic valves to control the flow of heating medium based on the ambient temperature. Installers and service technicians typically work with such components during system commissioning, retrofitting, or maintenance. The IVAR T3000 model is suitable for integration into systems where precise temperature regulation is required, especially in rooms with varying thermal loads.

Thermostatic heads are essential in systems where individual room control is needed. They are often used in multi-room buildings, such as offices, schools, and apartment blocks, to ensure energy efficiency and comfort. The M30x1.5 thread is a standard connection size for many European radiator valves, making this model a versatile option for a range of installations.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation of the thermostatic head involves screwing it onto a compatible valve body with an M30x1.5 thread. Ensure the valve is closed before fitting the head to prevent accidental flow. The head should be aligned with the valve stem and tightened securely using a suitable spanner. It is important to check that the head is seated correctly and that the temperature adjustment mechanism operates smoothly. A common mistake is over-tightening, which can damage the internal components or hinder temperature adjustment. Always verify the correct orientation of the head and ensure that the locking mechanism (if present) is engaged to prevent unintended temperature changes.

Compatibility and accessories

This thermostatic head is compatible with IVAR.VD, VS, VCD, VCR valves, and compact valve radiators with an M30x1.5 thread. It is also suitable for use with the M-ventil and other compact radiator types. For a complete installation, ensure the correct valve body is selected and that the system is properly balanced. No additional accessories are required for standard installation, but it is recommended to have a spanner and a temperature measuring device on hand for verification.

Technical background for designers

The IVAR T3000 operates on a liquid expansion principle, where a temperature-sensitive liquid inside the head expands or contracts in response to ambient temperature changes. This movement adjusts the valve opening, controlling the flow of heating medium. The head is typically constructed from durable materials to ensure long-term reliability. The M30x1.5 thread allows for secure and leak-free connection to the valve body. The efficiency and service life of the head depend on correct installation, system balance, and the absence of excessive pressure or temperature fluctuations in the system.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the thermostatic head is recommended to ensure it operates correctly. Check for signs of wear, such as leaks or sticking of the temperature adjustment mechanism. If the head fails to respond to temperature changes, it may need to be replaced. No scheduled service intervals are specified in the product data, but maintenance should be performed as part of general system checks. Always ensure the system is depressurised before removing or replacing the head.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IVAR T3000 be used with compact valve radiators?
Yes, the head is compatible with compact valve radiators that have an M30x1.5 thread, including those with the 'typ ventil kompakt' design.

Is the temperature range adjustable?
Yes, the head allows temperature adjustment within the range of +6.5°C to +28°C to suit different room conditions.

Can the head be locked at a specific temperature setting?
Yes, the head features an option to lock the temperature setting at the desired level to prevent accidental changes.

What tools are needed for installation?
A spanner is required to tighten the head onto the valve body. No other special tools are needed for standard installation.
