Set Classic EK - corner, 1/2" x EK, 16 x 2, AL

Product detailed description

This corner radiator connection kit is commonly used in residential and commercial heating systems where radiators are installed at angles or corners. It is suitable for use in central heating systems with copper or multi-layer ALPEX piping. The kit provides a complete solution for connecting radiators using crimping technology, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection. The components are designed for use in environments where the system operates at a maximum temperature of +120°C and a nominal pressure of PN 10.

The kit is ideal for installers working on new builds or renovations where radiators need to be connected at an angle to the main piping system. The nickel-plated brass construction ensures durability and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for long-term use in heating applications.

The operating temperature of +120°C and nominal pressure of PN 10 are critical for determining the suitability of this kit in high-temperature heating systems. These parameters ensure the kit can be used in systems with standard radiators and thermostatic controls. The material, nickel-plated brass CW617N, is selected for its mechanical strength and resistance to thermal expansion in heating systems.

Installation and connection

The installation process involves connecting the thermostatic valve to the radiator and securing the crimped connections to the ALPEX or copper piping. The kit includes all necessary components for a complete connection. The nominal thread size is 1/2 inch, and the ALPEX pipe dimensions are 16 x 2 mm. During installation, it is important to ensure that the crimping tools are correctly calibrated and that the torque settings are followed: 25–35 Nm for IVAR.TA 4420 and 35–45 Nm for IVAR.TR 4430. Common installation mistakes include incorrect crimping depth or using incompatible crimping tools, which can lead to leaks or system failure.

Compatibility and accessories

This kit is compatible with copper and ALPEX multi-layer pipes. It is designed to work with IVAR.TA and IVAR.TR crimping tools. No additional accessories are required for standard installations. The kit includes a thermostatic head, valve, and crimping components, making it a complete solution for connecting radiators at corners.

Technical background for designers

The kit operates by allowing the thermostatic valve to regulate the flow of heated water through the radiator based on the ambient temperature. The nickel-plated brass CW617N material provides good thermal conductivity and resistance to corrosion, ensuring long-term performance. The integration into the system depends on the correct sizing of the piping and the use of compatible crimping tools. The service life and efficiency of the kit are influenced by the quality of the installation and the maintenance of the crimped connections.

Service and operation

The kit requires no regular maintenance under normal operating conditions. However, it is important to periodically check the crimped connections for leaks and ensure that the thermostatic head is functioning correctly. No specific service intervals are provided in the brief.
