Nipple PRESS - copper, Cu 15 x 16

Product detailed description

In heating and plumbing systems, the integration of copper and ALPEX piping is a common requirement, particularly in residential and commercial buildings. Installers often encounter situations where a transition between these two pipe materials is necessary, for example in central heating systems, domestic hot water circuits, or underfloor heating installations. In such cases, the use of a press copper nipple ensures a secure and durable connection. This fitting is designed for use with press tools or with the IVAR.TR 4430 crimping tool, allowing for fast and accurate installation without the need for soldering or welding. The nickel-plated brass construction provides resistance to corrosion and ensures long-term performance in wet environments.

Proper selection and installation of press fittings are essential to maintain the integrity of the system. The dimensions and material properties of the fitting must align with the system's operating conditions, including pressure and temperature. This fitting is specifically designed for use in systems operating at up to +120°C and a nominal pressure of PN 10, making it suitable for a wide range of heating and plumbing applications.

The nominal pressure of PN 10 and the maximum operating temperature of +120°C are key factors in determining the suitability of this fitting for a specific application. These parameters ensure that the fitting can be used in systems with moderate pressure and temperature levels, such as domestic hot water and central heating systems. The nickel-plated brass material provides additional resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for wet environments.Installation and connection The IVAR 510065 press copper nipple is designed for use with ALPEX and copper pipes of 15 x 16 dimensions. The installation process involves inserting the pipe into the fitting and securing it using a press tool or the IVAR.TR 4430 crimping tool. It is essential to ensure that the pipe is clean and free of debris before installation to prevent leaks. A common mistake during installation is incorrect positioning of the pipe within the fitting, which can lead to a weak connection. Installers should also verify that the tool used is compatible with the fitting to ensure a proper seal.Compatibility and accessories This press copper nipple is intended for use with ALPEX and copper piping systems. It is typically used in conjunction with a stainless steel sleeve and an EPDM O-ring to ensure a watertight connection. The IVAR.TR 4430 crimping tool is recommended for installation to ensure consistent and reliable results. Additional components such as press tools and sealing rings should be ordered separately to complete the installation process.Technical background for designers The operating principle of the press copper nipple relies on the deformation of the fitting around the pipe to create a secure connection. The nickel-plated brass material offers high mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in wet and high-temperature environments. The EPDM O-ring provides a flexible seal that compensates for minor misalignments and ensures a leak-free connection. When integrated into a system, the fitting must be selected based on the system's pressure and temperature requirements to ensure long-term performance. The use of compatible tools and accessories is essential to maintain the integrity of the connection and the overall system efficiency.Service and operation Regular inspection of the connection is recommended to ensure that there are no signs of leakage or wear. The nickel-plated brass construction provides long-term durability, but in high-temperature environments, periodic checks are advised. If a leak is detected, the fitting should be replaced immediately to prevent damage to the system. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, but maintenance should be carried out according to the system's operational requirements.Frequently asked questions
