Regulating Fittings - Corner, 1/2" F x 3/4" F

Product detailed description

Corner regulating fittings are commonly used in residential and commercial heating systems to manage flow distribution and allow for isolation of specific zones or components. These fittings are often found in systems with radiators, underfloor heating, or heat emitters connected to central heating units. Installers typically use them in conjunction with valves and pipe systems to ensure balanced flow and efficient operation. The fitting's compact design and corner orientation make it ideal for tight spaces and directional changes in piping layouts.

When installed correctly, this type of fitting ensures stable and reliable operation in heating circuits. It is particularly suited for systems where flow adjustment and isolation are required without the need for additional valves. The nickel-plated brass construction provides resistance to corrosion and ensures long-term durability in typical heating environments.

Technical parameters

Material	nickel-plated brass CW617N
Operating temperature	+120 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 10
Weight	0.133 kg
Code	501338
Brand	IVAR

The operating temperature of +120°C and nominal pressure of PN 10 are key parameters for determining the suitability of this fitting in a given system. These values ensure compatibility with standard heating circuits and allow for safe operation under typical thermal and hydraulic conditions. The material, nickel-plated brass CW617N, offers good mechanical strength and resistance to thermal expansion and contraction.

Installation and connection

To install this corner regulating fitting, ensure that the connecting pipes are clean and free of debris. The fitting features a 1/2 inch female thread for direct connection to KERMI, COSMONOVA, or BUDERUS valves. For KORADO, PURMO, or KORAD valves, an adapter (IVAR.AVK 01) is required. Use a suitable sealing compound or tape on the threads to prevent leaks. Check that the fitting is aligned with the pipe run and that there is no stress on the threads during tightening. Common installation errors include over-tightening, which can damage the threads, and using the fitting without the correct adapter for incompatible valve types.

Compatibility and accessories

This fitting is compatible with a range of valve types, including KERMI, COSMONOVA, and BUDERUS valves without the need for an adapter. For KORADO, PURMO, and KORAD valves, an additional adapter (IVAR.AVK 01) must be used. When ordering, ensure that the correct adapter is included if the system contains these valve types. The fitting is supplied in packs of 10 pieces per bag or 80 pieces per full box.

Technical background for designers

The operating principle of this fitting is based on the use of a threaded connection to allow for flow regulation and shut-off. The nickel-plated brass CW617N material provides good thermal conductivity and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for long-term use in heating systems. The fitting integrates into the system by connecting directly to the valve body or via an adapter. The service life and efficiency are influenced by the quality of the installation, the use of appropriate sealing materials, and the absence of mechanical stress on the threads.

Service and operation

During operation, the fitting requires no regular maintenance. However, it is important to periodically check for leaks at the threaded connections and ensure that the fitting remains securely fastened. If any signs of wear or leakage are observed, the fitting should be inspected and, if necessary, replaced. No specific service intervals are provided for this component.
