PUSH Wall - 1/2 "x16 IVAR.PUSH-N

Product detailed description

Push Wall fittings are commonly used in residential and commercial building services for connecting flexible plastic piping systems to threaded components. These fittings are typically found in heating, plumbing and sanitation systems where reliable, tool-free connections are required. Installers working with ALPEX piping benefit from the ease of installation and secure connection provided by this type of fitting. The 90° elbow configuration is ideal for directional changes in tight spaces, such as under sinks, in wall cavities or behind panels.

This specific model is suitable for use in systems where the operating temperature does not exceed +120°C and the nominal pressure is up to PN 10. It is commonly used in domestic hot water systems and underfloor heating installations. The fitting is designed for use with ALPEX pipes and ensures a leak-tight connection without the need for crimping tools. It is intended for use in dry and semi-dry environments, and must be installed according to the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure long-term performance.

The operating temperature of +120°C makes this fitting suitable for hot water systems, while the PN 10 rating ensures compatibility with standard domestic pressure levels. The material selection ensures resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. These parameters are essential for correct sizing and system design, particularly in applications involving thermal expansion and pressure fluctuations.

Installation and connection

This fitting connects directly to an external thread without the need for additional tools. The fitting has a female thread of 1/2 inch and is designed to accept an ALPEX pipe of 16 mm diameter. The installation process involves inserting the prepared pipe into the fitting until it reaches the stop mark. The internal sleeve and EPDM sealing compress around the pipe to create a secure, leak-tight connection. It is important to ensure the pipe is clean and free of burrs before insertion. Common installation errors include incorrect pipe preparation, insufficient insertion depth and using incompatible pipe materials.

Compatibility and accessories

This fitting is specifically designed for use with ALPEX pipes of 16 mm diameter. It is not compatible with other pipe types or systems that require different connection methods. For complete system integration, ensure that all fittings and valves are from the same manufacturer or are certified for use with ALPEX piping. No additional accessories are required for installation, as the fitting is self-contained and does not require sealing compounds or tools.

Technical background for designers

This fitting operates on a push-fit principle, where the pipe is inserted into the fitting and the internal sleeve compresses to form a secure connection. The brass body provides durability and resistance to corrosion, while the stainless steel sleeve ensures long-term mechanical stability. The EPDM sealing material is chosen for its flexibility and resistance to thermal expansion. When integrated into a system, the fitting must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications to ensure proper function and longevity. The service life is influenced by operating conditions, including temperature fluctuations and pressure levels.

Service and operation

This fitting requires no regular maintenance and is designed for long-term use. However, it is important to inspect the connection periodically for signs of wear or leakage, particularly in high-temperature environments. If a leak is detected, the fitting should be replaced immediately. No service intervals are specified for this model, as it is intended for use in stable operating conditions. In the event of system shutdown or maintenance, ensure that the fitting is not exposed to extreme temperatures or mechanical stress.

Frequently asked questions

Can this fitting be used with copper pipes?
No, this fitting is designed specifically for ALPEX pipes and is not compatible with copper or other pipe materials.

Is it possible to reuse this fitting after disassembly?
No, once the fitting has been disassembled, the internal components may be damaged and cannot be reused. A new fitting must be installed.

Can this fitting be used in steam systems?
No, the operating temperature limit of +120°C means it is not suitable for steam or high-temperature applications.

What is the maximum working pressure for this fitting?
The maximum working pressure is PN 10, which is suitable for standard domestic water systems.
