T-piece 54 x 42 x 54

Product detailed description

Reduced T-pieces are essential in closed pressurised systems such as central heating, fire suppression, and industrial air or gas distribution. Installers and technicians working on these systems often need to integrate fittings that allow for directional changes while maintaining pressure integrity. This T-piece is suitable for applications involving dry air, inert gases, and non-potable water systems. The compact design and high-pressure resistance make it ideal for tight spaces and high-demand environments.

When installing in solar systems, refrigeration ducts, or air-conditioning circuits, the T-piece ensures a secure connection without the need for welding or threaded joints. Its compatibility with Type M jaws and the absence of surface coating limiting agents simplify the installation process and reduce the risk of leaks. The EPDM O-ring provides a reliable seal across the operating temperature range.

Technical parameters

Material	carbon galvanized steel
Operating temperature	-20 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 16
Resistance to high pressures up to	16 bar
Weight	0.375 kg
Code	IVC41.544254
Brand	IVAR

The operating temperature range from -20°C to +120°C allows for use in both cold and hot environments. The PN 16 rating means the fitting can handle sustained pressures up to 16 bar, making it suitable for high-pressure systems. These parameters are critical for ensuring the fitting is correctly sized and selected for the intended application.Installation and connection The T-piece is connected using press-fit technology, which requires no additional tools beyond those used for crimping. The connection sizes are 54 mm, 42 mm, and 54 mm, and must be matched with compatible pipe diameters. During installation, ensure the molding indicator is fully engaged and the crimping tool is correctly aligned to avoid misalignment or incomplete crimping. A common mistake is using the wrong jaw type, which can compromise the seal and pressure resistance. Always verify that the O-ring is undamaged and properly seated before final crimping.Compatibility and accessories This T-piece is compatible with other IVAR press-fit components in the IVC41 and IVC44 series. It is designed to work with EPDM O-rings and Type M jaws. For a complete installation, ensure that the required press tools and crimping dies are available. No additional surface treatments or coatings are required, as the fitting is already galvanized for corrosion resistance. No related products are available for this model.Technical background for designers The T-piece operates using a press-fit connection system, where the pipe is crimped into the fitting using a dedicated tool. The carbon galvanized steel construction provides mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion in non-potable water and industrial environments. The EPDM O-ring ensures a tight seal across the operating temperature range. The design allows for easy integration into closed systems, where pressure and temperature fluctuations are common. The service life is influenced by the quality of the crimping process and the integrity of the O-ring during installation.Service and operation No specific maintenance is required for this T-piece during normal operation. However, periodic visual inspections should be carried out to check for signs of wear, corrosion, or leakage. If the molding indicator shows signs of damage or misalignment, the fitting should be replaced. There are no defined service intervals provided in the technical data.Frequently asked questions

Can the T-piece be used in solar heating systems?
Yes, the T-piece is suitable for solar heating systems as long as the operating temperature does not exceed +120°C and the system pressure remains within 16 bar.

Is the T-piece compatible with inert gas systems?
Yes, the T-piece can be used with inert gases provided the system pressure and temperature remain within the specified limits.

Can the T-piece be used for potable water?
No, the T-piece is not certified for use with drinking water. It is intended for non-potable applications only.

What type of crimping tool is required?
The T-piece requires a press tool compatible with Type M jaws to ensure a secure and leak-free connection.
