T-piece 108 x 42 x 108

Product detailed description

This 90° reduced T-piece is commonly used in central heating systems, fire protection systems, and industrial piping applications. It is suitable for closed pressurised systems, including those for cold water, refrigeration, and air conditioning. The fitting allows for the branching of flow paths in ductwork and piping systems without the need for welding or threaded joints. It is particularly useful in installations where space is limited and a compact connection is required. The fitting is designed for use with press connections and is suitable for both new installations and system modifications.

Typical applications include the installation of central heating ductwork, fire water supply systems, and air-conditioning ductwork. The fitting is also used in solar system piping and for pressure dry air and inert gas systems. The material and design ensure resistance to mechanical damage and provide a high level of aesthetics in the installation.

Installation and connection

This T-piece is designed for press connection systems and requires Type M jaws for installation. The connection sizes are 108 mm, 42 mm, and 108 mm. When installing, ensure that the jaws are correctly aligned and that the molding indicator is visible to confirm a secure connection. Common installation mistakes include improper jaw alignment, which can lead to leaks, and failure to check the molding indicator. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for press fitting to ensure a leak-free connection and long-term performance.

Compatibility and accessories

This T-piece is compatible with other press-fit components in the IVAR system. It is suitable for use with carbon galvanized steel pipes and EPDM O-rings. For installation, Type M jaws are required. No additional surface coating limiting agents are needed, and the fitting is not certified for drinking water applications. Ensure that all components are from the same press-fit system to maintain compatibility and system integrity.

Technical background for designers

This T-piece is constructed from carbon galvanized steel, which provides good resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage. The EPDM O-ring ensures a tight seal and is suitable for a wide range of temperatures and media. The fitting is designed to operate within a temperature range of -20 °C to +120 °C and can withstand pressures up to 16 bar. The material properties make it suitable for use in closed pressurised systems, including those for heating, fire protection, and industrial applications. The design allows for quick and safe assembly without the need for welding or threaded joints, which reduces installation time and improves system aesthetics.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the connection is recommended to ensure there are no leaks or signs of wear. The molding indicator should be checked to confirm that the press connection is secure. If any issues are detected, the fitting should be replaced immediately. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, but maintenance should be carried out as part of routine system checks. The fitting is not certified for drinking water, so it should not be used in potable water systems.
