T-piece 90° PRESS GAS - reduced - 54-22-54mm IVAR.IVN41 GAS

Product detailed description

This 90° press T-piece is used in industrial and commercial gas supply systems to create branch connections in press-fitted stainless steel piping. It is commonly found in utility buildings, industrial facilities and gas distribution networks where reliable and leak-tight connections are essential. The fitting is designed for use with press-fit stainless steel pipe systems, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure and facilitating rapid and secure installation.

The fitting features a reduced cross-section, making it ideal for applications requiring a change in pipe diameter within a branch line. The press-fit design eliminates the need for welding or threading, reducing installation time and the risk of contamination or corrosion. It is particularly suited for environments where gas purity and system integrity are critical, such as in food processing or pharmaceutical industries.

Technical parameters

The operating temperature range of -20 °C to +70 °C ensures suitability for both cold and warm environments. The nominal pressure rating of PN 5 indicates the maximum allowable working pressure under standard conditions. These parameters are essential for correct sizing and selection to ensure the fitting performs reliably in its intended application.

Installation and connection

The fitting connects via press-fit technology to stainless steel pipes. Ensure the pipe ends are clean and free from burrs before inserting them into the fitting. Use a calibrated press tool compatible with the fitting's dimensions to apply even pressure around the circumference. After pressing, verify the connection using a leak detection method appropriate for the gas type. Common installation errors include incorrect tool calibration, misalignment of the pipe and fitting, and insufficient or excessive pressing force.

Compatibility and accessories

This T-piece is specifically designed for use with press-fit stainless steel gas piping systems. It requires compatible stainless steel pipes and a press tool suitable for the fitting's dimensions. Additional components such as straight press fittings or elbows may be needed to complete the system layout. Ensure all parts are from the same manufacturer to maintain system integrity and compliance with safety standards.

Technical background for designers

The fitting operates on the principle of mechanical compression, where the press tool deforms the fitting around the pipe to form a permanent, leak-tight joint. The HNBR sealing ring provides flexibility and durability under operating conditions. The design integrates seamlessly into press-fit systems, maintaining flow efficiency and structural stability. The service life is influenced by correct installation, environmental conditions and regular inspection for wear or damage.

Service and operation

Regular visual inspections are recommended to identify signs of mechanical stress, corrosion or leakage. Check the integrity of the press connections and ensure the sealing ring remains undamaged. No scheduled maintenance is required beyond these checks, provided the fitting is installed correctly and used within its specified parameters.

Frequently asked questions

Can this T-piece be used in biogas applications?
Yes, it is suitable for use with biogas in liquid phase, provided the system is designed for press-fit stainless steel piping and the operating conditions match the technical parameters.

Is the fitting compatible with other IVAR press fittings?
Yes, as long as the press tool is calibrated for the specific dimensions and the same press-fit system is used throughout the installation.

What is the sealing material used in this T-piece?
The sealing ring is made of HNBR (hydrogenated nitrile rubber), which provides good resistance to oils and fuels and maintains flexibility over a wide temperature range.

Can the T-piece be used in underground gas distribution systems?
It can be used in such applications if the installation complies with local regulations and the system is protected from mechanical damage and environmental exposure.
