T-piece 90° - reduced - N - 35-15-35mm IVAR.IVN41

Product detailed description

The 90° T-piece is commonly used in residential and commercial heating and plumbing systems. It allows for the branching of piping systems at right angles while maintaining structural integrity. Installers working on HVAC systems, water supply lines and industrial piping applications frequently use this component to connect and redirect flow. The design supports both straight and angled connections, making it versatile for complex layouts. It is particularly useful in tight spaces where angular routing is required.

This fitting is suitable for a range of applications including sanitary installations, fire sprinkler systems, solar thermal systems and industrial fluid handling. Its stainless steel body ensures resistance to corrosion, while the EPDM sealing ring provides a reliable seal under normal operating conditions. The PN16 pressure rating allows it to handle medium-pressure environments effectively.

Technical parameters

The operating temperature range and pressure rating are essential for system design. The specified pressure rating (PN16) indicates the maximum pressure the fitting can handle under standard operating conditions. The temperature range ensures compatibility with both cold and hot water systems, up to 85 °C with occasional exposure to 120 °C. These parameters help in selecting the appropriate component for the intended application and environment.

Installation and connection

Installation requires pressing the fitting onto prepared pipe ends using approved pressing tools. The connection sizes are compatible with 35 mm and 15 mm pipes. It is important to verify that the pipe ends are clean and free of burrs before pressing. The press joint must reach the correct depth indicated by the marking on the fitting. Common installation errors include incorrect pressing depth and failure to inspect the O-ring before assembly. Always confirm that the indicator reaches 54 mm after pressing to ensure a leak-free connection.

Compatibility and accessories

This T-piece is compatible with stainless steel press-fit piping systems. It is typically used with IVAR stainless steel pipes of corresponding diameters. To complete the installation, ensure that all connecting pipes and fittings are from the same system to maintain compatibility. Additional components such as straight T-pieces, elbows and reducers may be needed depending on the system layout.

Technical background for designers

The 90° T-piece functions as a branch point in fluid systems. The stainless steel body offers high resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress, ensuring long-term reliability. The EPDM sealing ring provides a durable seal against leakage. The fitting integrates into press-fit systems by forming a secure joint when pressed onto the pipe. The material properties of the stainless steel and EPDM affect the overall service life and performance of the component. Proper system design should account for thermal expansion and contraction to prevent stress on the joints.

Service and operation

During operation, ensure that the system pressure does not exceed the PN16 rating. Regular visual inspections should be carried out to check for signs of wear or damage. If any issues arise, the fitting should be removed and replaced following the same installation procedure. No specific service intervals are required unless specified by the manufacturer's documentation.

Frequently asked questions
