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

Product detailed description

This corner-mounted heating body kit is designed for installation in two-pipe central heating systems commonly found in residential and commercial buildings. The set includes all necessary components for connecting a radiator with a M30 x 1.5 threaded valve inlet to either copper piping or multi-layer ALPEX pipe. Installers working with traditional radiators featuring 3/4 inch external thread can integrate this set directly into existing systems using standard compression fitting techniques.

The nickel-plated brass construction ensures long-term reliability in environments with fluctuating water quality and temperatures up to 120°C. The compact design makes it ideal for tight spaces where a corner configuration is required for optimal heat distribution within rooms. When selecting components for a project, ensure the radiator inlet matches the M30 x 1.5 thread requirement specified in the technical documentation.

The nominal pressure rating of PN 10 defines the maximum allowable working pressure for safe operation under normal conditions. The operating temperature limit of +120°C ensures compatibility with standard domestic hot water and heating circuits. The CW617N brass alloy provides resistance to corrosion and maintains structural integrity under thermal cycling.

Installation and connection

Begin by verifying the radiator inlet thread size is exactly M30 x 1.5. For copper piping, use the IVAR.TR compression fitting with 15 mm outer diameter copper tube (1 mm wall thickness). For ALPEX multi-layer piping, prepare the 16 mm outer diameter tubing (2 mm wall thickness) and apply the IVAR.TA compression fitting. Ensure the torque settings match the manufacturer specifications: 20-35 Nm for ALPEX fittings and 35-45 Nm for copper fittings. Check the alignment of the corner configuration during installation to prevent stress on the valve body. Avoid overtightening the compression fittings to prevent damage to the sealing surfaces.

Compatibility and accessories

This kit is specifically designed for radiators with a M30 x 1.5 threaded valve inlet. It supports standard 3/4 inch external thread connections for radiator valves, ensuring compatibility with models from major manufacturers such as KERMI, COSMONOVA and BUDERUS. No additional components are required for installation, as the kit contains all necessary elements including the thermostatic head, regulating and shut-off valve, and appropriate compression fittings.

Technical background for designers

This set integrates a thermostatic head with a proportional control mechanism that regulates flow based on room temperature. The nickel-plated CW617N brass construction offers high thermal conductivity and mechanical strength while resisting dezincification and pitting corrosion. The compression fittings ensure leak-free connections through metal-to-metal sealing when torqued correctly. System efficiency depends on proper sizing according to heat loss calculations and correct orientation of the corner configuration to maintain balanced flow distribution.

Service and operation

During routine maintenance, inspect the compression fittings for signs of wear or leakage. Clean the thermostatic head sensor element periodically to maintain accurate temperature sensing. Verify the valve operates smoothly without sticking during seasonal system checks. No scheduled service intervals are defined for this component, but any issues should be addressed immediately to avoid system downtime.

Frequently asked questions

Can this kit be used with radiators having a non-M30 x 1.5 inlet?
No, the set requires a radiator inlet with exact M30 x 1.5 thread dimensions for secure connection to the valve.

Is it compatible with both copper and ALPEX piping?
Yes, the set includes both IVAR.TR and IVAR.TA compression fittings for copper and multi-layer ALPEX piping respectively.

What torque range should be applied to the compression fittings?
For ALPEX piping, apply 20-35 Nm torque. For copper piping, use 35-45 Nm torque according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Can this corner kit be installed in a horizontal position?
No, the corner configuration is fixed and intended for use in angular positions to direct airflow optimally around corners.
