PUSH grommet - female thread- 26x3/4 "F IVAR.PUSH-PF

Product detailed description

Push grommets are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings for connecting flexible plastic pipes to rigid threaded components in plumbing and heating systems. Installers often use these fittings in domestic hot and cold water systems, underfloor heating circuits, and in compact installations where space is limited. The push grommet eliminates the need for crimping tools, allowing for quick and secure connections in tight spaces or during retrofit projects.

When working with these fittings, technicians must ensure that the ALPEX pipe is correctly inserted and seated in the grommet. The internal thread allows for direct connection to standard pipe fittings, valves, or radiators. The absence of crimping also reduces the risk of damaging the pipe during installation, making it ideal for use in systems where frequent adjustments or maintenance may be required.

The operating temperature of +120°C and nominal pressure of PN10 make this fitting suitable for hot water systems and heating circuits. The brass CW617N body ensures good mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, while the EPDM seal provides a reliable watertight connection. These parameters are essential for selecting the correct fitting for the intended application and ensuring long-term performance.

Installation and connection

To install the push grommet, the ALPEX pipe must be cut cleanly and inserted into the fitting until it reaches the stop. The internal thread of the grommet is then connected to the corresponding external thread of the pipe fitting. It is important to ensure that the pipe is fully seated and that the sealing ring is undamaged before tightening the connection. Common installation errors include using a damaged or contaminated sealing ring, which can lead to leaks, or failing to insert the pipe to the correct depth, resulting in a weak or unstable connection.

Compatibility and accessories

This push grommet is specifically designed for use with ALPEX pipes. It is compatible with standard internal thread fittings and valves with a 3/4 inch female thread. For a complete installation, additional components such as ALPEX pipe, pipe fittings, and possibly pipe insulation may be required. No specific accessories are listed for this model.

Technical background for designers

This push grommet operates on a push-fit principle, where the ALPEX pipe is inserted into the fitting and secured by a mechanical grip and an EPDM sealing ring. The brass body provides good thermal and mechanical stability, while the EPDM seal ensures a watertight connection. The PN10 rating and +120°C operating temperature make it suitable for hot water and heating systems. The service life of the fitting is influenced by the quality of the pipe connection, the condition of the sealing ring, and the operating conditions of the system.

Service and operation

During operation, it is important to check for signs of leakage or wear on the sealing ring. If a leak is detected, the connection should be inspected and the sealing ring replaced if necessary. No specific service intervals are provided for this model. Regular visual inspections are recommended to ensure the integrity of the connection and the overall system performance.

Frequently asked questions

Can this push grommet be used with other types of pipe besides ALPEX?
No, this model is specifically designed for ALPEX pipe and may not provide a secure connection with other types of pipe.

Is it possible to reuse the sealing ring after disassembly?
No, the EPDM sealing ring should be replaced after disassembly to ensure a watertight connection.

Can this fitting be used in high-pressure systems?
This model is rated for PN10 and is suitable for standard pressure systems. It is not recommended for high-pressure applications beyond its rated capacity.

Can this push grommet be installed in tight spaces?
Yes, the push-fit design allows for installation in tight spaces without the need for crimping tools, making it ideal for confined areas.
