The material and dimensions of this fitting are specifically chosen to ensure compatibility with IVAR valves. The nickel-plated brass CW617N offers good corrosion resistance and durability in wet environments. The 5/4 inch x 1 inch dimensions allow for connection to Eurocone (EK) fittings and standard pipe sizes, making it suitable for a wide range of installations.

Installation and connection

To install the valve fitting, first ensure the pipework is clean and free from debris. The fitting connects to the valve using the 5/4 inch x 1 inch dimensions. A Eurocone (EK) connection is also possible, which requires a matching fitting on the pipe. During installation, it is important to check that the threads are aligned and tightened securely to prevent leaks. Common installation mistakes include using incorrect thread types or failing to apply a sealing compound where required. Always verify compatibility with the valve model before installation.

Compatibility and accessories

This fitting is compatible with a range of IVAR valves, including manual shut-off valves IVAR.VD and IVAR.VS, thermostatic valves IVAR.VD, IVAR.VS, IVAR.VCR, IVAR.VCD and IVAR.VCS, and regulating shut-off valves IVAR.DD and IVAR.DS. It is also suitable for Eurocone (EK) fittings. When ordering, ensure that the correct valve model and pipe size are selected to guarantee a proper fit. No additional accessories are required for standard installation.
