Vekoluxivar set - straight, 1/2" x EC, 15 x 1, CU

Product detailed description

This Vekoluxivar set is commonly used in residential and commercial buildings with two-pipe heating systems. It is typically installed in central heating systems where individual radiators require independent temperature control. The set allows for precise regulation of heat output and ensures secure, leak-free connections to copper or multilayer piping. Installers working with traditional or modern piping systems will find this set suitable for integration with radiators featuring a 3/4 inch external thread.

The set is particularly useful in systems where radiators are connected via copper or ALPEX multilayer pipes. The included compression fittings ensure compatibility with both types of piping, while the thermostatic head provides automatic temperature control. The nickel-plated brass construction ensures durability and resistance to corrosion in typical heating environments.

The operating temperature of +120°C and nominal pressure of PN 10 define the set's suitability for standard central heating systems. These parameters ensure the set can handle typical thermal and hydraulic conditions found in two-pipe systems. The material, nickel-plated brass CW617N, is selected for its mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion in wet and heated environments.Installation and connection The set includes compression fittings for copper or ALPEX multilayer pipe. For copper piping (Ø 15 x 1 mm), use IVAR.TR compression fittings. For ALPEX (Ø 16 x 2 mm), use IVAR.TA fittings. The thermostatic head connects via an M 30 x 1.5 thread, compatible with radiators that have a 3/4 inch external thread. During installation, ensure the correct tightening torque is applied: 20–35 Nm for IVAR.TA and 35–45 Nm for IVAR.TR. Common mistakes include incorrect torque application, which can lead to leaks or damaged fittings, and improper alignment of the valve and radiator threads.Compatibility and accessories This set is compatible with radiators featuring a 3/4 inch external thread, such as models from KERMI, COSMONOVA, and BUDERUS. It is also suitable for copper or ALPEX multilayer piping systems. No additional accessories are required for standard installation. However, ensure that the system design allows for the correct positioning of the thermostatic head and that the piping layout supports the use of compression fittings.Technical background for designers The Vekoluxivar set operates by combining a thermostatic head with a control and shut-off valve. The thermostatic head adjusts the flow of heated water based on the room temperature, ensuring energy efficiency and comfort. The nickel-plated brass CW617N material offers high strength and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for long-term use in central heating systems. The set integrates into two-pipe systems by allowing individual radiator control without affecting the rest of the system. The efficiency and service life of the set depend on correct installation, proper torque application, and the quality of the connected piping materials.Service and operation No regular maintenance is required for this set unless specified in the manufacturer's technical data sheet. Routine checks should include inspecting the compression fittings for leaks and ensuring the thermostatic head functions correctly. If leaks occur, check the torque applied to the fittings and re-tighten if necessary. The system should be tested during commissioning to confirm that the valve and head operate as intended.Frequently asked questions

Can this set be connected to radiators with a 3/4 inch external thread?
Yes, the set is designed for radiators with an M 30 x 1.5 thread, which is compatible with standard 3/4 inch external thread radiators.

Is this set suitable for use with ALPEX multilayer piping?
Yes, the set includes IVAR.TA compression fittings specifically for ALPEX Ø 16 x 2 mm piping.

What is the maximum operating temperature for this set?
The set is rated for an operating temperature of up to +120°C, making it suitable for standard central heating systems.

What tightening torque should be used for the compression fittings?
For IVAR.TA fittings, use 20–35 Nm. For IVAR.TR fittings, use 35–45 Nm. Incorrect torque can lead to leaks or damaged fittings.
