Sleeve - for PRESS fittings brass - 63x4,5 IVAR.O-PRESS

Product detailed description

Press fittings are widely used in industrial and irrigation systems where secure, long-lasting connections are essential. Installers working with high-pressure systems, such as those found in industrial facilities or large-scale irrigation projects, rely on components like this brass sleeve to ensure the integrity of the piping network. The sleeve is used in conjunction with other press fitting components to create a watertight seal, preventing leaks and ensuring system efficiency. This type of fitting is particularly useful in environments where vibration or movement may affect the stability of the connection.

When working with press fittings, it is important to understand the role of each component in the system. The sleeve acts as a reinforcement between the pipe and the fitting, ensuring that the press tool can apply even pressure during installation. This helps to prevent misalignment and ensures a consistent, reliable connection. The use of brass in the sleeve provides a balance of strength and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for a range of industrial and outdoor applications.

Technical parameters

Material	Stainless steel sleeve
Code	120040
Brand	IVAR

The sleeve is manufactured from brass, a material known for its durability and resistance to corrosion. The dimensions of the sleeve are specifically designed to fit 63x4.5mm pipes, ensuring a precise and secure connection. When selecting this component, it is important to verify that the pipe dimensions match the specifications to avoid installation issues or system failures.Installation and connection To install the sleeve, the pipe must first be prepared by cutting it to the correct length and ensuring the end is clean and free from burrs. The sleeve is then slid over the pipe before the fitting is applied. The press tool is used to compress the fitting around the pipe and sleeve, creating a secure connection. It is important to ensure that the press tool is properly calibrated and that the correct pressure is applied to avoid under- or over-pressing, which can lead to leaks or damage to the fitting. Common installation mistakes include using incorrect tools, failing to clean the pipe ends, or applying uneven pressure during the pressing process.Compatibility and accessories This sleeve is specifically designed for use with IVAR PRESS fittings and is compatible with 63x4.5mm pipes. When installing this component, it is important to ensure that all other parts of the press fitting system are also compatible, including the fitting body and the press tool. No additional accessories are required for installation, but it is recommended to have a set of appropriate tools on hand to ensure a smooth and efficient installation process.Technical background for designers Press fittings operate by compressing a metal fitting around a pipe, creating a mechanical seal that prevents leaks. The sleeve plays a crucial role in this process by providing a stable surface for the press tool to apply force. The use of brass in the sleeve ensures that it can withstand the high pressures and mechanical stresses associated with industrial and irrigation systems. The sleeve's design allows it to integrate seamlessly with the rest of the press fitting system, ensuring that the connection remains secure over time. Factors such as pipe material, system pressure, and environmental conditions can all affect the performance and longevity of the fitting.Service and operation Once installed, the sleeve requires minimal maintenance. However, it is important to periodically inspect the connection for signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks. If any issues are detected, the fitting should be replaced immediately to prevent further damage to the system. No specific service intervals are provided for this component, but regular visual inspections are recommended as part of a general maintenance routine.Frequently asked questions

Can this sleeve be used with other types of press fittings?
This sleeve is specifically designed for use with IVAR PRESS fittings and is not compatible with other press fitting systems.

Is it possible to reuse the sleeve after installation?
No, the sleeve is not designed for reuse. Once the press fitting has been applied, the sleeve should not be removed or reused to ensure the integrity of the connection.

What should be done if the sleeve becomes damaged during installation?
If the sleeve becomes damaged, it should be replaced immediately. A damaged sleeve can compromise the integrity of the connection and may lead to leaks or system failure.

Can this sleeve be used in high-temperature environments?
Brass is a suitable material for high-temperature environments, but the specific temperature limits should be verified according to the manufacturer's technical data sheet.
