Connection set for stainless steel bellows pipes IVAR.SITE-TR - 20mm; 1" IVAR.SITE-PS

Product detailed description

Flexible stainless steel bellows pipes are commonly used in heating, plumbing and sanitation systems where flexibility is required to accommodate movement or vibration. This connection set is specifically designed for IVAR.SITE-TR bellows pipes with a 20mm diameter. It provides all the necessary components for assembling secure and durable connections in residential, commercial and industrial installations. The set is suitable for use in systems where precise alignment is difficult to achieve, such as underfloor heating, boiler connections and pipe runs with complex routing.

Installers and technicians working with flexible stainless steel piping systems will find this set essential for completing installations efficiently. The components are designed to work together to ensure a tight seal and long-term reliability. The set is intended for use with IVAR.SITE-TR bellows pipes and should be used in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines for connection and installation.

Technical parameters

Set contents	20 pcs nuts, 20 pcs ferrules, 20 pcs sealing washers
Code	H20MAC20
Brand	IVAR

The set includes 20 nuts, 20 ferrules and 20 sealing washers, all of which are required for assembling a complete connection. The number of components ensures that multiple joints can be made without the need to source additional parts. The 20mm diameter is suitable for a range of standard pipe sizes used in heating and plumbing applications. The materials used in the components are compatible with stainless steel bellows pipes and provide a reliable seal under normal operating conditions.

Installation and connection

The installation process involves fitting the ferrules and nuts onto the bellows pipe and tightening them to secure the connection. The sealing washers are placed between the pipe and the fitting to prevent leaks. It is important to ensure that the ferrules are correctly positioned and that the nuts are tightened to the recommended torque. Common installation mistakes include using incorrect ferrule sizes, failing to clean the pipe before assembly, and over-tightening the nuts, which can damage the ferrules and compromise the seal. The set does not include a crimping head, which is required for completing the connection and must be obtained separately.

Compatibility and accessories

This connection set is specifically designed for use with IVAR.SITE-TR stainless steel bellows pipes with a 20mm diameter. It is not compatible with other types of flexible piping or with rigid pipe systems. To complete the installation, a suitable crimping tool or crimping head must be used. The set does not include any additional components such as pipe fittings or valves, which may need to be ordered separately depending on the specific application.

Technical background for designers

The connection set is based on the principle of mechanical compression to create a secure and leak-free joint between the bellows pipe and the fitting. The ferrules are made from a material that is compatible with stainless steel and provides a reliable seal under normal operating conditions. The nuts are designed to apply even pressure around the ferrule to ensure a consistent seal. The sealing washers are made from a material that is resistant to the media being transported through the system. The overall design ensures that the connection can accommodate slight misalignments and movements without compromising the integrity of the joint.

Service and operation

Once installed, the connection requires minimal maintenance. Regular inspections should be carried out to check for signs of wear, corrosion or leakage. If any issues are detected, the affected connection should be disassembled and the components inspected for damage. The nuts should be checked for tightness and re-tightened if necessary. No specific service intervals are provided for this set, as the components are designed for long-term use under normal operating conditions.

Frequently asked questions

Can this connection set be used with other types of flexible piping?
No, this set is specifically designed for IVAR.SITE-TR stainless steel bellows pipes and is not compatible with other types of flexible piping.

Is a crimping head included in the set?
No, the set does not include a crimping head, which is required to complete the connection and must be obtained separately.

How many connections can be made with this set?
The set includes 20 nuts, 20 ferrules and 20 sealing washers, which allows for the assembly of 20 connections.

Can the components be reused after disassembly?
