Set KLASIK DYNAMIC - corner, 1/2"

Product detailed description

Thermostatic radiator valves are essential components in hydronic heating systems, ensuring individual room temperature control and system efficiency. In residential and commercial buildings, these valves are commonly installed in radiators connected to central heating systems. Installers often encounter systems with steel piping and require valves that can integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure. The IVAR KIT501184 is specifically designed for such applications, offering a compact, corner-mounted solution with dynamic flow balancing capabilities to maintain consistent heat distribution across the system.

When installing in multi-room systems, the corner configuration of this valve allows for space-efficient mounting in tight spaces, such as under windows or in alcoves. The pre-set Kv value ensures that the valve can be sized accurately for the required flow rate, while the dynamic balancing feature compensates for pressure variations in the system, maintaining stable operation. This makes the valve suitable for both new installations and retrofit projects where system balance is critical.

Technical parameters

Operating temperature	120 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 10
Weight	0.1 kg
Code	KIT501184
Brand	IVAR

The technical parameters of the IVAR KIT501184 are crucial for proper system integration and performance. The nickel-plated brass CW617N construction provides corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, suitable for long-term operation in heating systems. The maximum operating temperature of 120°C ensures compatibility with standard central heating systems, while the PN 10 rating indicates the valve's ability to handle nominal pressures up to 10 bar. These parameters are essential for sizing the valve correctly and ensuring it meets the hydraulic requirements of the system.

Installation and connection

Installation of the IVAR KIT501184 requires careful attention to connection specifications and system compatibility. The valve is designed for direct connection to steel piping and features a 1/2 inch inlet and outlet for standard pipe sizes. The head of the valve connects via an M30 x 1.5 thread, which must be aligned correctly with the radiator head for secure mounting. During installation, it is important to check the orientation of the valve to ensure the flow direction matches the system's hydraulic layout. A common mistake is reversing the inlet and outlet, which can lead to improper flow control and reduced system efficiency. Installers should also verify that the valve is fully tightened and that the sealing surfaces are free from debris to prevent leaks.

Compatibility and accessories

The IVAR KIT501184 is compatible with standard steel and copper piping systems and can be integrated with radiators that accept M30 x 1.5 threaded heads. As a complete set, it includes the VS 2101 NH valve body, DD 302 actuator, and T 5000 temperature sensor. No additional accessories are required for basic installation, making it a self-contained solution for most heating applications. However, in complex systems with advanced control requirements, additional components such as remote sensors or digital controllers may be needed. Installers should refer to the manufacturer's technical documentation for specific compatibility details.

Technical background for designers

The IVAR KIT501184 operates on the principle of dynamic flow balancing, which adjusts the flow rate in response to changes in system pressure. This is achieved through an internal mechanism that maintains a pre-set Kv value, ensuring consistent performance across varying load conditions. The valve integrates into the system by connecting to the radiator and the main heating circuit, with the temperature sensor monitoring room conditions and adjusting the valve accordingly. The efficiency of the system depends on proper sizing, correct installation, and regular maintenance to ensure the valve remains responsive to temperature changes.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the IVAR KIT501184 is recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Installers should check for signs of wear, such as leaks or reduced responsiveness, and verify that the valve is operating within the specified temperature range. The nickel-plated brass construction requires minimal maintenance, but the sealing surfaces should be kept clean to prevent blockages. No scheduled service intervals are specified for this model, but any issues with flow control or temperature regulation should be addressed promptly to avoid system inefficiencies.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IVAR KIT501184 be used with copper piping?
Yes, the valve is suitable for use with copper piping as long as the connection sizes and thread types match the specifications provided in the technical data sheet.

Is the Kv value of the IVAR KIT501184 adjustable?
No, the Kv value is pre-set and cannot be adjusted after installation. The valve is designed to maintain a consistent flow rate based on the pre-set value.

Can the IVAR KIT501184 be used in systems with higher operating temperatures?
No, the maximum operating temperature is specified as 120°C. Exceeding this limit may affect the performance and longevity of the valve.

Can the IVAR KIT501184 be installed in a vertical position?
Yes, the valve can be installed in a vertical position as long as the flow direction is correct and the connection points are properly aligned with the system piping.
