PRESS-GAS wall plate, 3/4" F x 20

Product detailed description

Wall plates like the PRESS-GAS model are commonly used in residential and commercial heating systems to secure and support gas pipe connections. These components are essential in ensuring stable and leak-free connections in systems where ALPEX-GAS tubing is employed. Installers working on gas supply lines, central heating systems or industrial gas distribution networks will find this wall plate suitable for mounting and aligning pipe connections. It is typically used in conjunction with crimping tools and fittings designed for ALPEX-GAS systems.

Proper installation of the wall plate ensures that the pipe is correctly aligned and fixed to the wall or surface. This helps prevent mechanical stress on the pipe joints and maintains the integrity of the system. The wall plate is particularly useful in applications where the pipe needs to be mounted at a fixed position without the use of additional supports or brackets.

The operating temperature range of -20 °C to +60 °C allows the wall plate to function in both cold and warm environments, making it suitable for a wide range of installation conditions. The PN 10 rating indicates the maximum allowable pressure for the system, which is important for sizing and selecting the correct component for the intended application. The material, brass CW617N, ensures good mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for long-term use in gas systems.

Installation and connection

The wall plate is designed for 3/4 inch female threaded connections. Before installation, ensure that the surface is clean and free of debris to allow for a secure fit. The wall plate should be mounted using appropriate fasteners, and the pipe should be aligned with the connection point. A common mistake during installation is not securing the wall plate firmly, which can lead to misalignment and potential leaks. Always check that the pipe is correctly seated in the wall plate and that the connection is tight and free of movement.

Compatibility and accessories

The PRESS-GAS wall plate is compatible with ALPEX-GAS pipe systems and should be used with crimping tools of type B. It is essential to ensure that the correct type of crimping tool is used to achieve a secure and leak-free connection. No additional accessories are required for standard installation, but it is recommended to verify compatibility with the specific system design and components being used.

Technical background for designers

The wall plate functions as a mounting and alignment component for gas pipe systems. It is manufactured from brass CW617N, which provides good mechanical properties and resistance to corrosion. The HNBR sealing material ensures a reliable seal between the pipe and the wall plate. The integration of the wall plate into the system helps to reduce mechanical stress on the pipe joints and ensures long-term stability. The service life and efficiency of the component are influenced by the quality of the installation, the operating conditions, and the compatibility with other system components.

Service and operation

No specific service intervals are required for the PRESS-GAS wall plate. However, it is recommended to visually inspect the component during routine maintenance to ensure that it remains securely mounted and that there are no signs of damage or wear. Any issues with the wall plate should be addressed immediately to prevent potential leaks or system failures.

Frequently asked questions

Can the PRESS-GAS wall plate be used with other types of pipe?
No, it is specifically designed for use with ALPEX-GAS pipe and should not be used with other types of tubing.

Is the wall plate suitable for high-pressure gas systems?
The wall plate has a PN 10 rating, which means it is suitable for systems with a maximum pressure of 10 bar. It should not be used in systems exceeding this pressure.

Can the wall plate be used in outdoor installations?
Yes, provided that the installation is protected from direct exposure to weather and that the operating temperature remains within the specified range.

What type of crimping tool is required for installation?
The wall plate is compatible with crimping tools of type B. It is important to use the correct tool to ensure a secure connection.
