Pipe IVAR.INOX - stainless steel AISI 316 L - 15mm; 1mm - 6m IVAR.IVINT

Product detailed description

This stainless steel pipe is commonly used in residential and commercial buildings for sanitary, fire suppression and compressed air systems. Installers typically work with this pipe when designing and maintaining systems requiring high chemical resistance and mechanical strength. The pipe is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments where exposure to aggressive media or fluctuating temperatures is expected.

The press-fit connection system allows for quick and secure installation without the need for welding or additional sealing materials. This makes it ideal for projects where time efficiency and long-term reliability are required. The pipe is frequently found in hospitals, laboratories, industrial facilities and gas distribution systems.

Technical parameters

Material	Stainless steel class Wst
Code	IVINT.15
Brand	IVAR

The technical parameters are essential for determining the correct application and compatibility within a system. The wall thickness ensures structural integrity under operating pressures, while the material grade determines resistance to corrosion and media compatibility. The length of 6 m reduces the number of joints needed in large-scale installations.

Installation and connection

To install the pipe, cut it to the required length using a high-quality metal cutter or saw, ensuring a clean, perpendicular cut. Deburr the edges to avoid damage to the fitting during assembly. Press-fit fittings require precise alignment and use of a calibrated pressing tool. Ensure that the connection is fully seated and that the tool applies even pressure around the circumference of the fitting. Common mistakes include incorrect tool calibration, misalignment or insufficient pressing depth, which can lead to leaks or reduced system performance.

Compatibility and accessories

This stainless steel pipe is compatible with IVAR press-fit fittings of corresponding size and design. For complete installations, additional components such as elbows, tees, valves and pressure regulators may be required. Accessories should also be made of compatible materials to ensure uniform system performance and longevity.

Technical background for designers

The IVAR.INOX pipe operates based on the principles of fluid dynamics and pressure containment. Its material, AISI 316L stainless steel, is known for high corrosion resistance due to its molybdenum content, making it suitable for aggressive environments. The press-fit connection system eliminates the need for soldering or welding, reducing thermal stress and potential deformation. System efficiency depends on proper sizing, correct joint formation and adherence to the manufacturer’s installation guidelines. Longevity is influenced by media compatibility, operating temperatures and regular inspection of joints for wear or leakage.

Service and operation

Periodic inspections should focus on checking for signs of corrosion, especially in areas exposed to aggressive media or moisture. Joints should be visually inspected for any movement or misalignment. If used in high-pressure or high-temperature systems, ensure that the system remains within the material’s operational limits. There are no specified service intervals in the provided documentation.

Frequently asked questions

Can IVAR.INOX be used in gas supply systems?
