PRESS-GAS elbow 90°, 26 x 26

Product detailed description

This 90° elbow is a standard component in gas piping systems where directional changes are required. It is commonly used in residential and commercial heating systems, particularly in gas supply lines and distribution networks. Installers working on gas systems will find this fitting suitable for connecting ALPEX-GAS pipes of equal diameter. The fitting is designed for use with compression tools compatible with the specified thread type and ensures a secure and leak-free connection when installed correctly.

The operating temperature range of -20 °C to +60 °C makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, provided the system is protected from extreme environmental conditions. The PN 10 rating indicates the maximum allowable pressure for the system under normal operating conditions, which is essential for ensuring the integrity of the piping network.

The operating temperature range and pressure rating are critical for selecting the correct fitting for the intended application. The CW617N brass material provides good resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress, making it suitable for gas systems. The PN 10 rating ensures the fitting can handle the expected pressure levels in the system without deformation or failure.Installation and connection The PRESS-GAS 90° elbow is installed using standard compression tools compatible with the specified thread type. The fitting is designed for connecting ALPEX-GAS pipes of the same diameter. Before installation, ensure the pipe ends are clean and free from burrs. Apply even pressure during the compression process to avoid over-tightening, which can damage the fitting or the pipe. A common mistake during installation is using the wrong tool type, which can lead to an incomplete seal or damage to the fitting. Always verify that the tool is compatible with the fitting before proceeding.Compatibility and accessories This elbow is compatible with ALPEX-GAS pipes of the same diameter. It requires the use of compression tools of type B for installation. No additional components are required for standard installation. Ensure that the tools used are in good working condition and calibrated for the fitting type to avoid installation errors.Technical background for designers The elbow operates by allowing a directional change in the piping system while maintaining a secure and leak-free connection. The CW617N brass material is selected for its mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability in gas systems. The HNBR sealing material provides a durable and flexible seal that can accommodate minor misalignments during installation. The integration of this fitting into the system depends on the overall pressure and temperature conditions, as well as the compatibility with other system components. The service life and efficiency of the fitting are influenced by the quality of the installation and the operating conditions of the system.Service and operation No specific maintenance is required for this fitting under normal operating conditions. Regular visual inspections should be carried out to check for signs of wear, corrosion, or leakage. If any issues are detected, the fitting should be replaced immediately. No scheduled service intervals are required for this component.Frequently asked questions

Can the PRESS-GAS elbow be used with other types of gas pipes?
No, this fitting is specifically designed for use with ALPEX-GAS pipes of the same diameter. Using it with other pipe types may result in a poor seal or system failure.

What is the maximum operating temperature for this elbow?
The maximum operating temperature is +60 °C. Exceeding this temperature may affect the integrity of the fitting and the sealing material.

Is this elbow suitable for high-pressure gas systems?
The fitting is rated for PN 10, which is suitable for most standard gas systems. For systems with higher pressure requirements, a different fitting with a higher pressure rating should be used.

Can this elbow be used in outdoor gas installations?
Yes, provided the system is protected from direct exposure to extreme weather conditions. The operating temperature range supports use in both indoor and outdoor environments within the specified limits.
