Wall - 1/2 "FxEK IVAR.RM 4760

Product detailed description

This wall flange is commonly used in residential and commercial building services for secure and leak-free connections between pipe systems and wall-mounted components. It facilitates the transition from internal metric threads to Eurocone fittings, ensuring compatibility with a range of valves and components used in modern heating and sanitation systems. The compact design allows for installation in tight spaces behind walls or panels, making it ideal for concealed applications. Installers typically use it in central heating systems, hot water circuits, and industrial plumbing where reliable sealing under moderate pressure and elevated temperatures is required.

Its robust construction ensures long-term performance in environments subject to thermal cycling and mechanical stress. The fitting is suitable for both new builds and retrofit projects where existing infrastructure requires adaptation to modern standards. Due to its material and pressure rating, it is particularly suited for systems operating under standard domestic and light industrial conditions.

Technical parameters

Material	Brass CW617N
Operating temperature	+120 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 10
Code	500594
Brand	IVAR

The operating temperature of +120°C makes it suitable for hot water and heating circuits. The PN 10 rating indicates it can handle moderate system pressures, which is typical for most residential and small commercial systems. These parameters are essential for correct sizing and selection in accordance with system design requirements.

Installation and connection

To install the wall flange, first ensure the internal F thread on the pipe matches the thread type and pitch of the fitting. Clean the mating surfaces and apply a suitable sealant such as PTFE tape or thread compound. Tighten the fitting using an appropriate wrench, taking care not to overtighten and risk damaging the threads or the sealing surface. Check that the Eurocone connection is properly seated and aligned with the mating component to prevent leakage. A common mistake during installation is misalignment of the Eurocone seat, which can lead to poor sealing and potential system failure over time. Always verify the integrity of the connection after installation by performing a pressure test under controlled conditions.

Compatibility and accessories

This wall flange is compatible with Eurocone fittings and valves designed for PN 10 systems. It is intended for use with copper or steel pipes threaded to match the internal F connection. When assembling the system, ensure that all components are rated for the same operating temperature and pressure to maintain system integrity. Additional components such as valves, adapters or unions may need to be sourced separately depending on the specific installation requirements.

Technical background for designers

The wall flange functions as a transition fitting between a threaded pipe and a Eurocone valve or component. The brass CW617N material provides good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, making it suitable for wet environments and fluctuating temperatures. Its PN 10 rating ensures it can handle typical domestic and light industrial pressures. The Eurocone design allows for a metal-to-metal seal that remains stable even under thermal expansion and contraction. Longevity and efficiency depend on proper installation, correct alignment of the cone, and the use of compatible materials throughout the system.

Service and operation

Regular visual inspections should be carried out to check for signs of leakage, corrosion or mechanical damage. Ensure that the sealing surfaces remain clean and free of debris to maintain a tight connection. If the fitting is part of a pressurised system, it should be included in routine pressure tests to confirm its integrity. No scheduled service intervals are specified in the manufacturer’s data, but any signs of wear or malfunction should prompt immediate inspection or replacement.

Frequently asked questions

Can this wall flange be used with copper pipes?
Yes, it can be connected to copper pipes provided the internal F thread matches the pipe threading and the Eurocone interface aligns with the mating component.

Is it suitable for use in a central heating system?
Yes, the operating temperature of +120°C and PN 10 rating make it suitable for central heating applications where moderate pressure and elevated temperatures are present.

What sealant should be used with the internal thread?
A high-quality PTFE thread sealant or tape is recommended to ensure a leak-free connection while allowing for future disassembly if needed.

Can this fitting be used in a hot water supply line?
Yes, as long as the system operates within the rated temperature and pressure limits specified in the technical parameters.
