Press jaw PB1-M - M35;35mm IVAR.PB1-M

Product detailed description

In professional plumbing and heating installations, especially in residential and commercial buildings, press jaws are essential for creating secure and leak-free connections. These tools are typically used during the installation of pipe systems where precision and durability are critical. Technicians working with copper or stainless steel pipes often rely on press jaws to ensure proper fitting compression without damaging the surrounding structures.

The IVAR.PB1-M press jaw is part of a system-based approach to piping solutions, where compatibility between components is vital. Installations may include hot and cold water distribution, underfloor heating loops, or condensate drainage lines. In these scenarios, the press jaw enables rapid and accurate fitting assembly, reducing the need for secondary sealing methods such as soldering or threading.

Technical parameters

Code	48048-50
Brand	IVAR

This press jaw is engineered for specific press fitting sizes within the IVAR.C-STEEL and IVAR.INOX ranges. Its design allows for consistent application force during pressing, ensuring uniform deformation of the fitting’s compression ring. Proper selection of this tool is crucial to match the fitting type and diameter to achieve a long-lasting, watertight joint.

Installation and connection

To install the IVAR.PB1-M press jaw, ensure it is correctly seated in the accumulator press. The press should be calibrated according to the manufacturer’s instructions for the selected fitting size. Check that the jaw aligns precisely with the fitting’s pressing zone and that no debris or dirt interferes with the contact surface. A common mistake is using the wrong jaw size, which can lead to incomplete pressing or damage to the fitting. After pressing, verify the joint by applying pressure manually or using a test device as per the system’s commissioning protocol.

Compatibility and accessories

The IVAR.PB1-M press jaw is compatible only with the IVAR.ACO 103 BT accumulator press. It is used exclusively with press fittings from the IVAR.C-STEEL and IVAR.INOX product lines. Additional tools such as cutting and deburring devices may be required to prepare the pipe ends prior to pressing. Ensure all components are from the same manufacturer to maintain system integrity and warranty compliance.

Technical background for designers

Press jaws operate by applying controlled force to deform the annular sealing ring of the fitting around the pipe. The IVAR.PB1-M is constructed from durable materials to withstand repeated pressing cycles without wear. Stainless steel and copper pipes are commonly used in these systems due to their corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity. The lifespan of the jaw depends on regular maintenance and correct usage, while improper alignment or overloading can reduce its effectiveness and compromise the system’s performance.

Service and operation

Routine inspection of the press jaw is recommended after extended use to detect signs of wear or misalignment. Clean the jaw surfaces regularly to remove any residue from previous pressing actions. Although no specific service intervals are provided, replacing worn jaws promptly prevents inconsistent pressing results. Always store the tool in a dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IVAR.PB1-M be used with other press models?
No, it is specifically designed for the IVAR.ACO 103 BT accumulator press and will not function correctly with other press units.

Is the IVAR.PB1-M suitable for both IVAR.C-STEEL and IVAR.INOX fittings?
Yes, it works with both types of press fittings as specified by the manufacturer.

How can I confirm that the jaw is properly aligned with the fitting?
Visually inspect the alignment and ensure the jaw fully covers the pressing zone of the fitting before initiating the pressing cycle.
