PRESS GAS reducer - with one plug-in end - 54-28mm IVAR.IVN12 GAS

Product detailed description

It connects different pipe diameters within gas supply lines, ensuring secure and leak-free connections. Installers working on gas networks for heating, process applications or storage facilities will find this component essential for adapting pipe sizes while maintaining system integrity. The stainless steel construction ensures corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in environments exposed to gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons.

Typical installation scenarios include gas pipelines in industrial plants, residential gas systems and biogas infrastructure. The component is designed for use with press tools compatible with stainless steel fittings, enabling quick and accurate installation. Due to its PN5 pressure rating, it is suitable for medium-pressure gas distribution systems, provided the overall system design adheres to relevant safety standards.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation requires a press tool calibrated for stainless steel fittings. The press end should be inserted into the corresponding pipe and secured using the appropriate tooling. The other end is threaded or flanged, depending on the system configuration. Before pressing, ensure the pipe end is clean and free from burrs. Check that the O-ring is correctly seated in its groove to prevent leaks. Common installation errors include over-pressing, misalignment, or using the wrong tool size, all of which can compromise the seal or structural integrity.

Compatibility and accessories

This reducer is compatible with stainless steel pipes of the specified diameters and press tools designed for 1.4404 stainless steel. To complete the system, additional fittings such as elbows, tees and unions may be required. Ensure that all components are part of the same press system to maintain compatibility and system integrity. Accessories such as sealing rings and press dies should be sourced from the same manufacturer to guarantee consistent performance.

Technical background for designers

The operating principle relies on the mechanical deformation of the press end during installation, creating a tight and durable connection. The stainless steel body provides high corrosion resistance, making it suitable for aggressive environments. The HNBR sealing ring ensures a reliable seal against gas leakage. When integrating into a larger system, consider the thermal expansion characteristics of stainless steel and the need for expansion joints in long runs. The service life and efficiency depend on correct installation, environmental conditions and regular inspection for signs of wear or damage.

Service and operation

During operation, inspect the press joint visually for signs of damage, corrosion or deformation. Check the integrity of the O-ring and ensure that the connection remains tight. No scheduled service intervals are specified in the technical data, but periodic inspections are recommended in accordance with local regulations and safety standards. Any suspected leaks should be addressed immediately by isolating the system and checking the joint with appropriate leak detection methods.
