Vekoluxivar one-two-pipe - straight, EK x 3/4" F

Product detailed description

This valve is suitable for installation in one- and two-pipe heating systems, commonly found in residential and commercial buildings. It is used to regulate and shut off the flow of heating media in systems where bypass functionality is required. The valve is typically installed in conjunction with radiators or heating bodies to allow for individual room temperature control and system balancing.

Installers working with copper or plastic piping systems will find this valve compatible with various connection methods. It is designed to integrate with different radiator types and can be used in both new installations and system retrofits. The valve’s design allows for straightforward installation and reliable operation in central heating systems.

Technical parameters

Operating temperature	+120 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 10
Weight	0.356 kg
Code	500317
Brand	IVAR

The valve is rated for a nominal pressure of PN 10 and can operate at a maximum temperature of 120°C. These parameters are essential for determining compatibility with the system’s operating conditions and for ensuring correct sizing during the design phase. The material selection and pressure rating also influence the valve’s durability and suitability for long-term use in heating applications.Installation and connection The valve is connected using a 3/4 inch Eurocone (EK) thread, which allows for secure attachment to copper or plastic piping. Installers should ensure that the thread is clean and undamaged before tightening. The valve can be directly connected to radiator bodies from manufacturers such as Kermi, Cosmonova, and Buderus. For other radiator types like Korado, Purmo, and Korad, an adapter (IVAR.AVK 01) is required. During installation, it is important to check the alignment of the valve and the piping to prevent leaks and ensure proper flow. Common mistakes include over-tightening the connection, which can damage the threads, and using incorrect sealing materials that may degrade over time.Compatibility and accessories The valve is compatible with a range of radiator types and can be used with copper or plastic piping systems. For copper connections, the IVAR.TR compression fitting is recommended. For ALPEX piping, the IVAR.TA fitting is suitable, and for plastic piping, the IVAR.TP fitting should be used. When connecting to certain radiator bodies, the IVAR.AVK 01 adapter is necessary. Installers should ensure that all fittings and adapters are correctly selected and installed to maintain system integrity and performance.Technical background for designers The valve operates as a bypass valve in one- and two-pipe systems, allowing for flow regulation and individual room control. The nickel-plated brass (CW617N) construction provides resistance to corrosion and wear, making it suitable for use with water-based heating media. The material’s properties ensure a long service life and stable performance under the specified operating conditions. The valve’s integration into the system depends on the system design and the type of piping used. The operating principle relies on the mechanical closure of the valve seat to stop or regulate flow, which is essential for maintaining system balance and efficiency.Service and operation The valve requires minimal maintenance due to its durable construction. However, periodic checks should be performed to ensure that the sealing surfaces are free from debris and that the connection threads are intact. If the valve shows signs of leakage or reduced performance, it should be inspected and, if necessary, replaced. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, but routine visual inspections are recommended during system maintenance.Frequently asked questions
