Sealing Washer - Water - 20mm; 1" IVAR.FASIT 202 W

Product detailed description

Sealing washers are essential components in plumbing and sanitary systems where flexible stainless steel piping is used. They are commonly installed in residential, commercial and industrial buildings to connect water supply lines to fixtures, appliances and distribution points. These systems require reliable sealing solutions to prevent leaks and ensure long-term performance. The sealing washer is typically used in conjunction with flexible stainless steel piping, which allows for easy installation in tight spaces and around obstacles. It is particularly useful in applications where rigid piping would be impractical or where vibration and thermal expansion could cause stress on the connection.

During installation, the sealing washer is positioned between the pipe and the fitting to create a watertight seal. It is important to ensure that the washer is correctly seated and not damaged during the tightening process. This component is commonly used in systems where water is the working medium, and it is designed to withstand the typical pressures and temperatures encountered in such applications.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation of the sealing washer involves placing it between the pipe and the fitting before tightening the connection. The connection size is 20mm / 1 inch, and the installer should ensure that the washer is not twisted or compressed unevenly. Common mistakes include using the wrong size washer, which can lead to leaks, or over-tightening the connection, which may damage the washer or the fitting. It is also important to check that the washer is not contaminated or damaged before installation. A clean, undamaged washer ensures a reliable seal and minimises the risk of failure in the system.

Compatibility and accessories

This sealing washer is compatible with IVAR flexible stainless steel piping systems. It is intended for use with fittings and connections that have a 20mm / 1 inch thread. When installing, it is necessary to ensure that all components in the system are compatible in terms of thread type and connection size. No additional accessories are required for basic installation, but it is important to use the correct tools and follow the manufacturer's guidelines to avoid damage to the components.

Technical background for designers

The sealing washer functions by creating a barrier between the pipe and the fitting, preventing water from escaping the system. It is typically made from a material that is resistant to water and compatible with stainless steel piping. The washer's design allows it to conform to the surface of the fitting, ensuring a consistent seal even under pressure. The material properties of the washer are important for its performance, as they determine its resistance to wear, compression and environmental factors. The integration of the washer into the system depends on the design of the piping and the type of connection used. Proper selection and installation of the washer are critical for the long-term efficiency and reliability of the system.

Service and operation

During operation, the sealing washer requires no regular maintenance. However, it should be inspected periodically for signs of wear, compression or damage. If a leak is detected at the connection, the washer should be checked for integrity and replaced if necessary. There are no specific service intervals provided for this component, but it is recommended to replace the washer during system maintenance or if the connection is disassembled for any reason. A damaged or compressed washer can compromise the seal and lead to system failure.

Frequently asked questions

Can the sealing washer be used with other types of piping?
This sealing washer is specifically designed for use with IVAR flexible stainless steel piping. It is not recommended for use with other types of piping unless compatibility has been confirmed by the manufacturer.

Is the sealing washer suitable for high-pressure water systems?
The sealing washer is suitable for typical water systems. For high-pressure applications, it is important to verify that the system design and all components, including the washer, are rated for the expected pressure levels.

Can the sealing washer be reused after disassembly?
Once the sealing washer has been compressed during installation, it is not recommended for reuse. A new washer should be used to ensure a reliable seal and prevent leaks.

What should be checked during installation to ensure a proper seal?
During installation, the washer should be checked for damage, contamination and correct positioning. The connection should be tightened evenly to avoid over-compression or misalignment, which can affect the seal.
