O-ring - 28mm; FPM (green) IVAR.IVO.FPM Z
Code: I002852Related products
Product detailed description
In industrial and commercial heating installations, press-fitting systems are commonly used for their speed and reliability. These systems require precision components such as O-rings to ensure leak-free operation under varying thermal and hydraulic conditions. This includes applications such as central heating circuits, fire suppression systems, compressed air lines, and industrial process piping. The environment in which these systems operate can include both indoor and outdoor settings, with exposure to temperature fluctuations and mechanical stress.
For installers and technicians working with such systems, selecting the correct sealing components is essential. The press-fitting method eliminates the need for welding or threading, making installation faster and safer. However, the integrity of the seal depends heavily on the quality and correct specification of the O-ring. The O-ring must also remain stable under operational pressures and temperatures, maintaining its shape and sealing properties over time.

The operating temperature range of this O-ring begins at -20°C, ensuring functionality in cold environments. The nominal pressure rating of PN 16 indicates its suitability for medium-pressure applications. These parameters are critical for determining the appropriate use of the O-ring in press connections and for ensuring compatibility with the rest of the system.
Installation and connection
The O-ring is used in press connections where it forms a tight seal between the pipe and fitting. During installation, the O-ring must be correctly positioned within the groove of the fitting before the pipe is inserted and pressed into place. The connection size is determined by the system design and must match the internal diameter of the pipe. Installers should verify that the O-ring is not damaged and is seated correctly to prevent leaks. Common errors include using the wrong size O-ring or failing to clean the mating surfaces before pressing, which can compromise the seal.
Compatibility and accessories
This O-ring is compatible with standard press-fit systems and is intended for use with fittings and pipes specified for such connections. It works with IVAR press-fit components and is suitable for use in closed systems where the medium is non-potable water, inert gases, or industrial fluids. No additional accessories are required for standard installations, though it is recommended to have spare O-rings available for replacement during maintenance or repairs.
Technical background for designers
The O-ring is made from FPM (fluorocarbon rubber), also known as Viton, which provides resistance to heat and chemical exposure. This material choice ensures long-term stability in environments where the system is exposed to fluctuating temperatures and pressures. The O-ring functions by compressing between the pipe and fitting when the connection is made, creating a fluid-tight barrier. Its performance is influenced by the surface finish of the mating components, the accuracy of the press-fit tooling, and the condition of the surrounding system. For optimal performance, the system should be designed to allow for even distribution of the sealing force around the connection.
Service and operation
During operation, the O-ring requires minimal maintenance. However, regular inspections should be carried out to check for signs of wear, deformation, or leakage. Any damage to the O-ring should be addressed immediately by replacing the component. Since the O-ring is part of a press connection, disassembly for inspection is not typically required unless the system is undergoing major maintenance. There are no defined service intervals for this component, as its lifespan depends on the operating conditions and frequency of use.
