T-piece 42 x 35 x 42

Product detailed description

Reduced T-pieces are essential components in closed pressurised systems such as central heating, fire suppression, refrigeration and industrial air systems. Installers working in commercial and industrial buildings often use these fittings to create branch connections in ductwork without the need for welding or threaded joints. The IVAR IVC41.423542 is designed for use in environments where high-pressure resistance and a wide temperature range are required, ensuring reliable performance in both heating and non-heating applications.

These fittings are commonly used in the installation of central heating ductwork, cold water and refrigeration systems, fire water supply systems, air-conditioning ductwork and piping for solar systems. The EPDM O-ring ensures a tight seal, and the absence of surface coating limiting agents means the fitting can be used in systems where such additives are not permitted. The T-piece is supplied in a pack of five and is intended for permanent watered systems, dry air, inert gases and industrial media.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation of the IVAR IVC41.423542 requires the use of Type M jaws for pressing. The fitting has three press connections with dimensions 42 mm, 35 mm and 42 mm. Before installation, ensure that the pipe ends are clean and free from burrs. The molding indicator must be fully engaged to confirm a secure connection. Common installation mistakes include using the wrong jaw type, failing to check the molding indicator, or not ensuring the correct alignment of the fitting with the pipe.

Compatibility and accessories

The T-piece is compatible with other IVAR press fittings and pipes within the same system. For a complete installation, ensure that the correct pipe sizes and press tools are available. Additional components such as straight and elbow fittings may be required depending on the system layout. No specific accessories are required for this model, but the use of a press tool suitable for the fitting size is essential.

Technical background for designers

The IVAR IVC41.423542 is made from carbon galvanized steel, which provides good resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage. The EPDM O-ring ensures a reliable seal under pressure and temperature variations. The fitting is designed for integration into pressurised systems where branch connections are needed. The service life and efficiency of the fitting depend on the quality of the installation, the condition of the O-ring and the absence of contaminants in the system media.

Service and operation

During operation, the fitting requires no regular maintenance. However, it is important to check for any signs of leakage or damage during routine inspections. The absence of a surface coating means the fitting is suitable for use in systems where such additives are not allowed. No specific service intervals are required for this model, but any visible damage or signs of wear should be addressed immediately.
