Sleeve - for PRESS fittings brass - 16x2 IVAR.O-PRESS

Product detailed description

This sleeve is used in professional installations involving gas and plumbing systems, particularly in residential and commercial buildings. It is commonly found in systems where reliable and durable connections are essential for the safe and efficient operation of the infrastructure. Installers and technicians working with gas pipelines and press-fit systems will find this component suitable for ensuring proper sealing and alignment during installation.

The sleeve is part of a press-fitting system, where it is inserted into the pipe and compressed using a suitable tool to form a tight and secure connection. It is commonly used in systems where high integrity and long-term reliability are required, such as in gas supply lines or pressurized plumbing circuits.

Technical parameters

Code	120082/85
Brand	IVAR

The sleeve is designed for use in systems with a maximum operating pressure of PN 5 and a temperature range from -20 °C to +70 °C. These parameters are essential for ensuring the component remains functional and maintains its integrity under normal operating conditions. The selection of this sleeve must align with the pressure and temperature requirements of the system to avoid failure or degradation over time.

Installation and connection

The sleeve is installed as part of a press-fitting system. It is inserted into the pipe and compressed using a dedicated pressing tool to form a secure connection. The connection size is 16x2, and the installation must ensure that the sleeve is fully seated and aligned with the fitting before pressing. Common installation errors include misalignment, insufficient pressing force, or using the wrong tool, which can compromise the integrity of the connection. Installers should verify that the sleeve is compatible with the pipe and fitting before proceeding with the installation.

Compatibility and accessories

This sleeve is specifically designed for use with IVAR PRESS fittings and is suitable for gas and plumbing systems. It is intended for use with pipes of the specified dimensions and must be used in conjunction with the appropriate pressing tool. No additional accessories are required for standard installation, but the correct tools must be available to ensure a proper connection. Installers should ensure that all components are from the same system to maintain compatibility and performance.

Technical background for designers

The sleeve is made of brass, a material known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in gas and plumbing systems. It functions by forming a tight seal when compressed against the pipe and fitting, ensuring that the connection remains leak-free under operating conditions. The performance of the sleeve is influenced by the quality of the pressing process, the alignment of the components, and the compatibility of the materials used in the system. Proper design and installation are essential to ensure long-term efficiency and service life.

Service and operation

Once installed, the sleeve requires no regular maintenance. However, it is important to inspect the connection periodically for signs of wear, leakage, or damage. Any issues should be addressed immediately to prevent system failure. The sleeve is not designed for disassembly or reuse once pressed, so any damaged or faulty connections must be replaced with new components.
