O-ring GAS - 108mm (yellow) IVAR.IVO.HNBR Z

Product detailed description

In industrial and building services, sealing components play a critical role in ensuring the integrity of press-fit pipe systems. Installers working on gas supply lines, compressed air systems, or industrial piping often encounter the need for reliable sealing solutions that can withstand a range of operating conditions. This includes environments where temperatures can drop below freezing, such as unheated utility rooms or outdoor installations. The IVAR O-ring GAS is a sealing element specifically designed for such applications, where a secure and durable connection is essential to prevent leaks and maintain system efficiency.

Typical installation scenarios include press-fit systems in heating, ventilation, and industrial gas distribution. The sealing element must be compatible with the press-fit method and the materials used in the system, such as stainless steel fittings and EPDM seals. It is also important to consider the operating temperature and pressure range to ensure the seal performs as intended over time.

Technical parameters

Operating temperature	-20 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 10
Code	I003268
Brand	IVAR

The operating temperature of -20°C is a key factor in determining the suitability of the O-ring for cold environments. The PN10 pressure rating indicates the maximum allowable working pressure for the system, which is essential for proper sizing and selection. These parameters help ensure the seal remains effective under the specified conditions and supports long-term system performance.

Installation and connection

The IVAR O-ring is designed for use in press-fit connections where it is inserted into the fitting before the pipe is pressed into place. The connection size must be verified to ensure compatibility with the press-fit system. During installation, it is important to check that the O-ring is correctly positioned and not damaged. Common mistakes include improper seating of the seal or using a damaged O-ring, which can compromise the integrity of the connection. The press-fit method relies on the seal being fully engaged and the press-fit indicator being activated to confirm a secure fit.

Compatibility and accessories

This O-ring is compatible with stainless steel press-fit fittings made from 1.4404 (AISI 316L) material. It is intended for use with press-fit systems that have a maximum diameter of 54 mm. For a complete installation, it is necessary to have the appropriate press-fit tools and fittings. No additional accessories are required for this specific model.

Technical background for designers

The O-ring functions as a sealing element in press-fit systems, relying on the compression of the EPDM material to form a tight seal between the pipe and the fitting. The stainless steel fittings provide corrosion resistance and durability, making them suitable for a range of industrial and heating applications. The integration of the O-ring into the system depends on the press-fit method and the correct alignment of the components. The operating temperature and pressure range are critical factors that influence the service life and efficiency of the seal. A stable installation environment and proper maintenance contribute to the long-term performance of the system.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the press-fit connections is recommended to ensure the O-ring remains undamaged and the seal is intact. There are no specific service intervals provided for this model, but any signs of wear or damage should be addressed promptly. During operation, it is important to monitor the system for leaks and ensure that the press-fit indicator is functioning correctly. Maintaining the system according to the manufacturer's guidelines helps prevent failures and ensures continued performance.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IVAR O-ring be used in systems with higher pressure than PN10?
No, the O-ring is rated for PN10 and should not be used in systems exceeding this pressure rating.

Is the O-ring suitable for use with gases other than those specified?
It is designed for use with gases such as industrial gases and compressed air, as specified in the technical documentation.

Can the O-ring be used in systems with temperatures below -20°C?
No, the operating temperature range starts at -20°C, and the O-ring is not suitable for use in colder conditions.

Can the O-ring be used with non-press-fit connections?
No, it is specifically designed for use in press-fit systems and is not suitable for other connection types.
