Press jaw PB2-M - M18;18mm IVAR.PB2-M

Product detailed description

In industrial and commercial building services, plumbers and fitters frequently install press-fit systems using dedicated tools and jaws. These systems offer leak-free connections and are widely used in heating, sanitation and water supply networks. The IVAR press jaw PB2-M is designed specifically for such applications, ensuring accurate and reliable pressing of IVAR.C-STEEL and IVAR.INOX fittings.

Typical installation scenarios include new construction projects, system upgrades or repairs in industrial facilities, large residential complexes and commercial buildings. The press jaw is part of a toolkit used to create secure, durable joints in steel and stainless steel pipe systems. It supports efficient workflow and minimises errors during installation, particularly when used with automated or semi-automated pressing tools.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Before installation, verify that the press jaw is correctly seated in the plier head and tightened according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the fitting is clean and free of debris before placing it over the pipe end. Align the fitting and pipe carefully to prevent misalignment during pressing. Secure the plier around the fitting and initiate the pressing cycle. After pressing, inspect the joint visually for any signs of damage or misalignment. Common mistakes include using incorrect jaws for the fitting type or applying uneven pressure during pressing.

Compatibility and accessories

This press jaw is specifically designed for use with IVAR.C-STEEL and IVAR.INOX press fittings. To complete the installation process, it must be used in conjunction with the IVAR.ACO 203 XL BT electric hydraulic plier. Additional tools such as cutting and deburring devices may also be required for preparing the pipe ends. Always ensure the correct combination of tools and jaws is used for the specific fitting type.

Technical background for designers

The press jaw operates by applying uniform radial force to the fitting, deforming it slightly to form a tight seal around the pipe. The M18 thread ensures precise coupling with the plier mechanism, which translates the operator’s input into controlled pressing action. The jaw is typically made from hardened tool steel to withstand repeated use and maintain dimensional accuracy. The performance of the press joint depends on correct sizing of the fitting, proper preparation of the pipe end, and the use of calibrated tools. Environmental conditions and fluid media should also be considered to ensure long-term system integrity.

Service and operation

Regular visual inspection of the press jaw for wear or deformation is recommended to maintain consistent pressing results. Clean the jaw surface after each use to remove any residual material or debris. If the jaw shows signs of damage or inaccurate pressing results occur, it should be replaced immediately. No scheduled service intervals are specified in the provided information.

Frequently asked questions

Can the PB2-M press jaw be used with other plier models besides IVAR.ACO 203 XL BT?
No, the press jaw is specifically designed for use with IVAR.ACO 203 XL BT electric pliers and is not compatible with other models.

Is the press jaw suitable for both IVAR.C-STEEL and IVAR.INOX fittings?
Yes, the PB2-M press jaw is compatible with both IVAR.C-STEEL and IVAR.INOX press fittings, ensuring accurate pressing for both materials.

What should be done if the pressing results show inconsistencies?
If inconsistent pressing occurs, check the alignment of the jaw and the condition of the fitting. Replace the jaw if it shows signs of wear or damage.

Does the press jaw require regular lubrication?
No specific information is available regarding lubrication requirements. Follow general maintenance practices for press tools and consult the manufacturer’s guidelines if necessary.
