T-piece 90° PRESS GAS - reduced - 42-28-42mm IVAR.IVN41 GAS

Product detailed description

This 90° press gas tee is suitable for connecting three press pipes in gas distribution networks. It is commonly used in industrial and commercial buildings for transporting natural gas, biogas, and liquefied propane. The tee is designed for integration into press-fitting systems, ensuring secure and leak-free connections in medium-pressure applications. Installers typically use it in gas lines where branching is required at a right angle, such as in boiler rooms, gas storage facilities, and industrial kitchens.

Accurate installation requires matching the press pipe diameters and ensuring compatibility with the press tooling. The tee must be selected based on the system’s pressure class and the type of gas being transported. Due to the use of press fittings, no additional tools beyond a press machine are needed during installation, reducing the risk of misalignment or improper sealing.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

The tee connects three press pipes using press fittings. The connection sizes are 42 mm, 28 mm, and 42 mm. Before installation, ensure that the pipe ends are clean and free from burrs. Use a press machine compatible with the fitting size to apply even pressure around the circumference of the connection. Check that the press tool aligns correctly with the fitting to avoid deformation or incomplete pressing.

• Verify that the press tool is calibrated and suitable for the fitting size.
• Ensure the sealing ring is correctly seated in the groove before pressing.
• Avoid over-pressing, which can damage the fitting or reduce the sealing effectiveness.

Compatibility and accessories

This tee is designed for use with press pipes of the same material and thread type. It is compatible with other IVAR press components in the IVN41 GAS series. When ordering, ensure that the corresponding press pipes and tools are available. Additional components such as straight press fittings or elbows may also be required depending on the layout of the gas network. Accessories such as press tools and sealing rings should be sourced separately.

Technical background for designers

The tee functions by providing a branch point in a gas line at a 90° angle. The stainless steel construction offers resistance to corrosion and ensures long-term durability in gas environments. The HNBR sealing ring provides a reliable seal under operating conditions. The tee integrates into press-fitting systems, allowing for quick and secure assembly without the need for soldering or threading. The service life and performance depend on the quality of the press connections and the integrity of the sealing ring during installation.

Service and operation

No regular maintenance is required for this component once installed correctly. However, periodic visual inspections are recommended to check for signs of wear, deformation, or leakage. If any issues are detected, the affected section should be isolated and inspected for damage to the press connection or sealing ring. Replace any damaged components immediately to maintain system integrity.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IVAR IVNGAS41.422842 be connected to press pipes of different materials?
No, it is specifically designed for use with stainless steel press pipes and must not be connected to pipes made of other materials.

Is the sealing ring replaceable after installation?
No, the sealing ring is integrated into the fitting and cannot be replaced without disassembling the entire press connection.

Can this tee be used in high-pressure gas systems?
No, it is rated for nominal pressure PN 5 and must not be used in systems exceeding this pressure level.

What is the maximum operating temperature for this component?
The maximum operating temperature is +70 °C, beyond which the sealing ring may degrade and compromise the connection.
