Set KLASIK EK DYNAMIC - corner, 1/2" x EK, 16 x 1

Product detailed description

This IVAR EK DYNAMIC corner valve set is commonly used in radiant heating systems in residential and commercial buildings. It is installed in corner configurations where space is limited and precise flow control is required. The set is designed for use in underfloor heating, wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted radiant systems where thermal comfort and energy efficiency are key considerations. The dynamic balancing feature ensures consistent flow rates across the system, even with varying pressure conditions.

Typical applications include new builds, renovations and system upgrades where accurate temperature regulation and flow management are essential. The set is suitable for systems using copper or plastic piping, with appropriate connection accessories included. The installation process requires careful alignment of the components and verification of the Kv value for correct system sizing.

Technical parameters

Material	Nickel-plated brass CW617N
Operating temperature	120 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 10
Weight	1 kg
Code	KIT501185AL
Brand	IVAR

The operating temperature of up to 120 °C and nominal pressure of PN 10 make this set suitable for low-pressure heating systems with moderate thermal demands. The nickel-plated brass CW617N body provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet environments. The dynamic balancing feature allows for pre-setting of the Kv value, ensuring consistent flow rates across the system. These parameters are essential for accurate system design and component selection.

Installation and connection

The set is installed using the included connection accessories for copper or plastic piping. The valve body has a 1/2 inch connection size for the pipe and an M 30 x 1.5 thread for the head. During installation, the Kv value should be verified to match the system design. The dynamic balancing function must be activated according to the manufacturer's instructions. Common installation errors include incorrect thread alignment, mismatched pipe materials and failure to check the Kv setting before commissioning.

Compatibility and accessories

This set is compatible with copper and plastic piping systems. The included accessories allow for secure connection to copper (IVAR.TR 4420), ALPEX (IVAR.TA) and plastic (IVAR.TP) piping. Additional components such as manifolds or control systems may be required depending on the system configuration. The set is designed for use with radiant heating systems and is not suitable for high-pressure or high-temperature applications beyond the specified parameters.

Technical background for designers

The EK DYNAMIC set operates by adjusting the flow rate based on temperature changes, maintaining a consistent output. The nickel-plated brass body ensures long-term resistance to corrosion and wear, making it suitable for wet environments. The dynamic balancing mechanism allows for pre-setting of the Kv value, ensuring that the flow remains stable even with pressure fluctuations. The integration into the system depends on the overall design, including pipe layout and control strategy. The service life and efficiency are influenced by the quality of installation, correct setting of the Kv value and the condition of the connected piping.

Service and operation

Routine checks should include verifying the Kv setting and ensuring that the dynamic balancing function is operating correctly. No specific service intervals are provided in the brief. If the system shows signs of uneven heating or flow irregularities, the valve should be inspected for blockages or misalignment. The thermostatic head should be checked for responsiveness to temperature changes. Any maintenance should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure system integrity.

Frequently asked questions

Can the EK DYNAMIC set be used with plastic piping?
Yes, the set includes a connection accessory for plastic piping (IVAR.TP), allowing it to be used with polyethylene or similar materials.

Is the Kv value adjustable after installation?
The Kv value can be pre-set during installation but is not adjustable once the system is commissioned.

Can the thermostatic head be replaced separately?
Yes, the thermostatic head (IVAR.T 5000) is a separate component and can be replaced if damaged or if a different control option is required.

What is the maximum operating temperature of the set?
The set is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 120 °C, making it suitable for low-temperature radiant heating systems.
