Pipe IVAR.INOX - stainless steel AISI 316 L - 42mm; 1,5mm - 6m IVAR.IVINT

Product detailed description

Stainless steel pipes are essential components in technical installations where resistance to corrosion and high purity of transported media are critical. This 42mm stainless steel pipe is commonly used in industrial and sanitary systems such as water supply, fire protection, and compressed air applications. Installers and engineers working in building services or industrial environments frequently use this type of pipe in conjunction with press-fit fittings for reliable, leak-free connections. The material and construction ensure long-term performance in aggressive environments and under varying pressure conditions.

Correct selection of pipe dimensions and material is crucial for ensuring system integrity and compliance with technical standards. The wall thickness and outer diameter must be compatible with the intended operating pressure and flow requirements. This 42mm pipe is suitable for a range of installation scenarios where high mechanical strength and chemical resistance are required.

Technical parameters

Code	IVINT.42
Brand	IVAR

The specified material and dimensions influence the pipe’s load-bearing capacity and resistance to internal and external stresses. The 1.5mm wall thickness provides sufficient structural support for most technical applications, while the 42mm outer diameter ensures compatibility with standard press-fit fittings. These parameters are key to determining the suitability of the pipe for specific system designs and installation conditions.

Installation and connection

The installation process involves cutting the pipe to the required length using a suitable tool such as a pipe cutter or fine-toothed saw. After cutting, any burrs or irregularities should be removed to prevent damage to the fitting during assembly. The press-fit connection requires the use of a certified press tool and appropriate dies to ensure a secure and leak-tight joint. The pipe must be inserted fully into the fitting before applying the press force. Common errors include insufficient insertion depth, incorrect tool alignment, or the use of non-compatible fittings, which can compromise the integrity of the connection.

Compatibility and accessories

This stainless steel pipe is compatible with a range of press-fit fittings designed for use with IVAR.INOX piping systems. Installers should ensure that all fittings are from the same system to maintain compatibility and performance. Additional components such as elbows, tees, and reducers may be required depending on the layout of the installation. Accessories such as sealing rings and press tools should also be available to complete the installation correctly.

Technical background for designers

The operating principle of the system relies on the mechanical strength of the press-fit connection, which creates a permanent and hermetic seal between the pipe and the fitting. The material, AISI 316L stainless steel, offers high resistance to corrosion and is suitable for transporting a wide range of media, including gases and chemically aggressive substances. The integration into the system depends on the correct sizing and selection of components based on the expected flow rate, pressure, and environmental conditions. Long-term performance is influenced by factors such as installation quality, media compatibility, and exposure to external stresses.

Service and operation

Routine inspection of the system should include visual checks for signs of corrosion, leaks, or mechanical damage. Any defects should be addressed immediately to prevent further degradation. No regular maintenance is required beyond these inspections, as the press-fit connections are designed to remain stable over time. However, if the system is exposed to high temperatures or chemically aggressive environments, periodic checks may be necessary to ensure continued performance.

Frequently asked questions

Can this stainless steel pipe be used in gas installations?
Yes, the pipe is suitable for gas applications due to its material and construction, provided it is used with compatible fittings and installed according to technical guidelines.

Is it compatible with other stainless steel pipe systems?
Compatibility is ensured only when used with press-fit fittings from the same system. Mixing with other systems is not recommended.

What tools are required for installation?
A certified press tool and appropriate dies are required to create a secure and leak-tight connection between the pipe and fitting.

Can the pipe be cut to custom lengths on site?
Yes, the pipe can be cut on site using a suitable cutting tool. After cutting, the end should be deburred to avoid damaging the fitting during installation.
