Threaded fitting FASTEC - FASTEC Quick x 3/4" EK IVAR.KA 04

Product detailed description

Threaded fittings are essential components in plumbing and heating systems, particularly in applications where secure and leak-free connections are required. This fitting is commonly used in residential and commercial buildings for connecting pipe systems, especially in heating circuits and water distribution systems. It is designed for use in environments where the system operates at a nominal pressure of PN 10 and a maximum temperature of +90°C. The fitting is typically installed by heating and plumbing professionals who are responsible for ensuring that all connections are correctly sized and aligned to prevent leaks and maintain system integrity.

The fitting is part of the FASTEC Quick system, which is designed for quick and easy installation without the need for additional tools. It is used to transition between different thread types, such as from the FASTEC Quick system to a standard 3/4 inch Eurocone (EC) thread. The brass construction ensures long-term durability and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in a wide range of applications.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation of the threaded fitting involves connecting it to the appropriate thread type, either the FASTEC Quick system or a 3/4 inch Eurocone (EC) thread. The fitting is designed for push-fit or quick-connect installation, eliminating the need for additional tools or sealing compounds. Before installation, it is important to ensure that the threads are clean and free from debris to prevent leaks. The connection should be checked for tightness and alignment after installation. Common installation mistakes include using incorrect thread types or failing to clean the connection surfaces, which can lead to leaks or reduced system efficiency.

Compatibility and accessories

This fitting is specifically designed for use with the FASTEC Quick system and is compatible with 3/4 inch Eurocone (EC) threads. It is intended for use in conjunction with other components of the FASTEC system, such as valves, manifolds, and pipe fittings. No additional accessories are required for standard installation. However, it is important to ensure that all components are from the same system to maintain compatibility and performance.

Technical background for designers

The fitting operates on the principle of a quick-connect system, which allows for rapid assembly and disassembly without the need for tools. The brass material provides good mechanical strength and thermal conductivity, making it suitable for use in systems with fluctuating temperatures. The fitting is integrated into the system by connecting it to the appropriate pipe or valve. The service life and efficiency of the fitting are influenced by factors such as the quality of the installation, the cleanliness of the connection surfaces, and the operating conditions of the system.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the fitting is recommended to ensure that the connection remains secure and leak-free. No specific service intervals are required for this fitting, as it is designed for long-term use. During inspections, it is important to check for signs of wear, corrosion, or leakage. If any issues are detected, the fitting should be replaced to prevent further damage to the system.
