T-piece 90° - internally threaded - N - 35-Rp1/2"-35mm IVAR.IVN42

Product detailed description

This 90° T-piece is commonly used in heating and plumbing systems for connecting pipes at right angles. It is suitable for applications such as sanitary installations, fire sprinkler systems, heating systems, compressed air, solar systems and industrial processes. The component is designed for use with press and threaded connections and requires proper installation to ensure leak-free operation.

The T-piece is typically found in residential and commercial buildings where reliable and durable piping solutions are required. It is often used in conjunction with stainless steel piping systems to provide long-term performance under varying operating conditions.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

The T-piece features a press connection on two sides and an internal thread on the third side. The press connections require a suitable tool and must be inserted to the correct depth until the indentation indicator is engaged. The internal thread side is compatible with standard Rp1/2" threaded fittings. During installation, the installer should verify that the pipe ends are clean and free from burrs before pressing. Common installation errors include incorrect pressing depth, improper alignment and failure to inspect the O-ring for damage or wear.

Compatibility and accessories

This T-piece is compatible with press-fit stainless steel piping systems and standard threaded components. To complete the installation, additional press tools and O-rings may be required. The fitting is suitable for use with EPDM sealing rings and is intended for integration into systems using stainless steel pipes of appropriate dimensions.

Technical background for designers

The T-piece allows the redirection of flow at 90° and provides a secure connection between press and threaded components. The use of stainless steel grade 1.4404 (AISI 316L) ensures resistance to corrosion and high mechanical strength, making it suitable for a wide range of fluids and environments. The EPDM sealing ring enhances the tightness of the connection and supports operation across the specified temperature range. The design integrates well into press-fit systems and is intended for long-term durability under normal operating conditions.

Service and operation

During operation, the T-piece requires minimal maintenance. However, regular visual inspections are recommended to detect signs of wear, corrosion or leakage. Any issues with the O-ring or pressing marks should be addressed immediately to maintain system integrity. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data.

Frequently asked questions

Can this T-piece be connected to a press pipe with an external thread?
No, the T-piece is designed for press-to-press and press-to-threaded connections. It cannot be directly connected to a press pipe with an external thread without an additional adapter.

Is the sealing ring replaceable after installation?
The sealing ring is integrated into the fitting during manufacturing and is not designed for separate replacement once the connection is made.

What is the maximum allowable temperature for continuous operation?
The maximum operating temperature for continuous use is +85 °C. The fitting can tolerate short-term exposure up to +120 °C.

Can the T-piece be used in solar thermal systems?
Yes, the T-piece is suitable for use in solar thermal systems, provided the system's operating conditions align with the specified temperature and pressure ratings.
