Pipe IVAR.C-STEEL, 89 x 2

Product detailed description

This IVAR.C-STEEL pipe is commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings for central heating, refrigeration and air conditioning systems. It is installed in closed-loop systems where media such as heated water, dry air or inert gases circulate under pressure. The pipe is selected for its ability to withstand mechanical stress and thermal fluctuations over long distances. Installers often work with this pipe in boiler rooms, HVAC ducts and underfloor heating layouts, where durability and ease of connection are essential.

The 89 x 2 mm dimensions make it suitable for medium to large-diameter circuits, such as main supply lines or branch connections in larger systems. The 6 m length per piece reduces the number of joints required during installation, which helps to improve system integrity. The galvanized coating provides additional protection against corrosion in non-potable applications.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation is performed using press or threaded fittings. The 89 mm outer diameter requires matching press tools and dies. Before connecting, ensure the pipe ends are clean and free of burrs. Use a marking tool to align the fitting accurately. When threading, apply a suitable sealant to the male threads. Common mistakes include misalignment during pressing, which can cause leaks, and over-tightening threaded joints, which can damage the pipe.

Always verify that the system pressure does not exceed 16 bar during operation. For long runs, consider expansion joints or bends to accommodate thermal movement. Check that all connections are secure after installation and perform a pressure test before commissioning.

Compatibility and accessories

This pipe is compatible with a wide range of press and threaded fittings from 15 mm to 108 mm. It is typically used with IVAR press fittings and can be integrated with other pipe systems via transition fittings. For complete installation, additional components such as valves, manifolds and insulation materials should be sourced separately.

Technical background for designers

As a carbon steel pipe with an external galvanized coating, this product offers good mechanical strength and resistance to physical damage. It operates within a broad temperature range, which makes it suitable for both heating and cooling applications. The non-flammable nature and A1 flammability classification according to DIN 4202-1 make it ideal for use in environments with fire safety requirements. The absence of substances that interfere with varnish application supports surface treatments for aesthetic or protective purposes.

Designers should consider the thermal expansion coefficient of carbon steel when planning long pipe runs. Insulation is recommended for cold water applications to prevent condensation. The pipe’s lightweight compared to alternatives reduces handling and installation effort, particularly in large-scale projects.

Service and operation

During operation, the system should be monitored for signs of leakage or pressure loss. Inspect connections periodically for tightness, especially after periods of inactivity. Since the pipe is not certified for drinking water, ensure it is not used in any potable water circuits. No specific maintenance schedule is required beyond routine checks for mechanical integrity and system performance.
