PRESS-GAS wall plate, 3/4" F x 26

Product detailed description

The PRESS-GAS wall plate is used in gas heating systems to provide secure and durable connections for ALPEX-GAS piping. It is commonly installed in residential and commercial buildings where gas distribution systems require wall-mounted connections. Installers working on central heating systems, particularly those involving gas-fired boilers or gas appliances, will find this component essential for ensuring airtight and leak-free joints. The wall plate is designed to accommodate the specific requirements of gas systems, including resistance to temperature fluctuations and mechanical stress during installation and operation.

This component is typically integrated into systems where gas lines need to be mounted on walls or partitioned areas. It supports the connection of flexible or rigid piping and is used in both new installations and system upgrades. The installation process requires careful alignment and secure fastening to maintain the integrity of the gas system and prevent potential hazards.

The nominal pressure rating of PN 10 indicates the maximum pressure the wall plate can withstand under standard operating conditions. The operating temperature range from -20°C to +60°C ensures compatibility with typical ambient and system temperatures encountered in gas heating applications. These parameters are essential for selecting the correct component for the intended installation and ensuring long-term reliability.Installation and connection The PRESS-GAS wall plate is installed using standard mounting techniques for wall-mounted components. It features a 3/4 inch female thread for connecting to the gas piping system. Before installation, the installer should verify the alignment of the thread with the pipe and ensure the surface is clean and free from debris. A common mistake is incorrect tightening, which can lead to leaks or mechanical stress on the connection. The use of appropriate tools and adherence to the manufacturer’s guidelines are crucial to avoid damage to the brass body or the sealing material.Compatibility and accessories This wall plate is specifically designed for use with ALPEX-GAS piping systems. It is compatible with jaw-type clamps of type B, which are used to secure the pipe to the wall plate. For a complete installation, it is necessary to have the appropriate clamping tools and sealing materials on hand. No additional products are required for standard installation, but installers should ensure that all components are from the same system to maintain compatibility and performance.Technical background for designers The PRESS-GAS wall plate operates by providing a fixed point for gas piping to be mounted and sealed. The use of brass CW617N ensures good mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion in gas environments. The HNBR sealing material is selected for its flexibility and durability under varying temperatures. The integration of this component into the system depends on the overall layout of the gas distribution network. Factors such as pipe routing, wall thickness, and system pressure must be considered to ensure the component functions effectively and contributes to the system’s efficiency and longevity.Service and operation Routine inspection of the wall plate is recommended to ensure the integrity of the connection and the absence of leaks. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, but visual checks for signs of wear, corrosion, or mechanical stress should be conducted during system maintenance. The installer should also verify that the clamping mechanism remains secure and that the sealing material is intact. If any issues are detected, the component should be replaced to maintain system safety and performance.Frequently asked questions

Can the PRESS-GAS wall plate be used with non-gas piping systems?
No, the wall plate is specifically designed for use with ALPEX-GAS piping and is not suitable for other types of media or systems.

Is the wall plate suitable for outdoor installations?
Yes, provided the operating temperature remains within the specified range of -20°C to +60°C and the installation is protected from direct exposure to weather elements.

Can the wall plate be used with a different type of clamp?
No, it is only compatible with clamps of type B as specified in the technical documentation.

What tools are required for installation?
Standard installation tools for gas piping, including a wrench for tightening the thread and a clamp tool for securing the pipe to the wall plate, are required.
