T-piece 90° - internally threaded - N - 28-Rp1"-28mm IVAR.IVN42

Product detailed description

This 90° T-piece is commonly used in heating, plumbing, and industrial systems where a branch connection is required at a right angle. It is suitable for installation in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. The fitting is designed for use in press and threaded connections, ensuring a secure and leak-free joint. It is often found in heating systems, fire sprinkler systems, and solar installations where reliable and durable connections are essential.

With its stainless steel construction and EPDM sealing ring, this T-piece is suitable for a range of fluids and gases. It is particularly useful in applications where corrosion resistance is important, such as in humid environments or with aggressive media. The fitting is designed to be installed by professionals who are familiar with press and threaded connection techniques and the requirements for sealing and alignment.

Technical parameters

The operating temperature range from -20 °C to +85 °C, with a maximum of +120 °C, allows the fitting to be used in a wide range of environments, including cold and hot water systems. The nominal pressure of PN 16 ensures compatibility with systems operating at moderate pressure levels. These parameters are essential for selecting the correct fitting for the intended application and ensuring long-term performance.

Installation and connection

The T-piece is installed using a combination of press and threaded connections. One end is connected using a press connection, while the other has an internal thread for screwing into a corresponding external thread. The press connection requires a suitable tool to compress the fitting around the pipe, ensuring a tight seal. The threaded connection requires careful alignment and tightening to the specified torque to avoid leaks.

During installation, it is important to ensure that the pipe ends are clean and free from burrs. The EPDM O-ring must be in good condition and properly seated in its groove. A common mistake is insufficient compression of the press connection or over-tightening the threaded connection, which can damage the fitting or cause leakage. The fitting must be fully seated and aligned with the pipe to prevent stress on the connection.

Compatibility and accessories

This T-piece is compatible with stainless steel pipes of the same material grade and with press tools designed for 1.4404 stainless steel. It is intended for use with EPDM O-rings and must be paired with compatible press fittings and threaded components. For a complete installation, additional components such as straight press fittings, elbows, and valves may be required. These should be selected based on the specific system requirements and the media being transported.

Technical background for designers

The T-piece functions as a branch connection in a piping system, allowing the flow of fluid or gas to be directed at a right angle. The EPDM O-ring ensures a tight seal and is resistant to a wide range of temperatures and media. The integration of this fitting into the system depends on the design of the piping layout and the pressure and temperature conditions. The service life of the fitting is influenced by the quality of the installation, the condition of the sealing ring, and the compatibility of the connected components.

Service and operation

During operation, the T-piece requires no regular maintenance. However, it is important to periodically check for signs of leakage or corrosion, especially in areas with high humidity or aggressive media. If a leak is detected, the fitting should be inspected for damage to the O-ring or improper compression. In such cases, the fitting should be replaced or reinstalled according to the manufacturer's instructions. The service life of the fitting is primarily determined by the quality of the installation and the operating conditions.
