Press jaw F - F32/32mm IVAR.CEL F

Product detailed description

Press jaw tools are essential components in the installation of press-fitting systems in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. They are used to secure pipe connections in heating, plumbing and sanitation systems by crimping the fitting around the pipe. This ensures leak-free joints and long-term system integrity. Installers and technicians working with IVAR.ALPEX systems rely on precision tools like the Press Jaw F - F32/32mm to achieve consistent results in tight spaces and under challenging conditions.

Correct crimping requires accurate alignment of the pipe and fitting, as well as proper positioning of the press jaw within the crimping tool. The process is commonly applied in underfloor heating systems, central heating circuits and domestic water supply lines. The Press Jaw F - F32/32mm is specifically designed for 32 mm diameter fittings and is used in conjunction with electric hydraulic presses to apply the required force for a secure connection.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation begins with preparing the pipe and fitting surfaces to ensure they are clean and free of debris. The fitting is slid onto the pipe until it reaches the stop mark, then inserted into the crimping tool. The press jaw must be correctly seated in the tool to align with the fitting. Once positioned, the tool is activated to apply the crimping force. After crimping, the joint should be visually inspected for even compression and correct alignment. Common installation errors include misalignment of the jaw, incorrect fitting depth and using the wrong jaw size for the fitting.

Compatibility and accessories

This press jaw is compatible with IVAR.ALPEX system fittings and must be used with the IVAR.POWER-PRESS or IVAR.POWER-PRESS ACC hydraulic press units. Additional components such as IVAR.MC Z4 intermediate jaws may be required for larger fittings. For IVAR.AC system fittings, the IVAR.TH 17 press jaws are necessary. When ordering, ensure that all required jaws and tools are included to cover the full range of fitting sizes and types needed for the project.

Technical background for designers

The operating principle of the press jaw involves applying uniform radial pressure to the fitting, deforming it slightly to create a metal-to-metal seal around the pipe. The jaw is typically made from hardened steel to withstand repeated use and high forces during crimping. Its design allows for precise control of the crimping process, ensuring consistent joint quality. Integration into the system depends on the compatibility of the fitting material and the press tool’s hydraulic capabilities. The durability of the joint is influenced by correct installation, system pressure levels and environmental conditions such as temperature fluctuations.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the press jaw is necessary to detect signs of wear, deformation or damage that could affect crimping accuracy. The jaw should be cleaned after each use to remove any debris or residue that might interfere with the fitting contact. If the jaw becomes worn or misaligned, it should be replaced to maintain joint integrity. No specific service intervals are provided, but routine checks during tool maintenance are recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Press Jaw F - F32/32mm be used with IVAR.AC system fittings?
No, this jaw is specifically for IVAR.ALPEX system fittings. For IVAR.AC fittings, the IVAR.TH 17 press jaws are required.

Is the Press Jaw F - F32/32mm compatible with all IVAR press tools?
It is compatible with IVAR.POWER-PRESS and IVAR.POWER-PRESS ACC. Ensure the tool is set up correctly for the fitting size and type.

What is the recommended procedure for checking the crimped joint?
Visually inspect the joint for even compression and alignment. The fitting should show a uniform crimp profile without distortion or gaps.

Are intermediate jaws required for all fitting sizes?
Intermediate jaws such as IVAR.MC Z4 may be needed for larger fittings. Check the fitting specifications and press tool compatibility before installation.
