Press elbow PPSU 90° 26x26 mm – IVAR.K PPSU
Code: 82826202Product detailed description
IVAR.K PPSU 26 × 26 (code 82826202) is an IVAR.PRESS system elbow with two press sockets of the same 26 mm diameter for ALPEX and TURATEC multilayer pipes and PEX pipes. It changes the pipe direction by 90°, for example in a room corner or where the route passes from the floor into the wall.
Material and design
- PPSU (polyphenylsulfone) body resistant to corrosion and deposits
- AISI 304 stainless steel press sleeves and EPDM sealing O-rings
- polycarbonate positioning ring with windows for checking the pipe position
- hygiene certificate for drinking water, operation up to PN 10 at +3 to +95 °C
How to install the elbow
- cut the pipe perpendicular to its axis, then calibrate and deburr it with original IVAR tools
- push the elbow onto the pipe in line and without twisting; water is enough to ease insertion, do not use oil or lubricants
- press radially with an approved pressing tool and B or F contour jaws for Ø 26 mm
- the joint can be pressurised immediately after pressing, no open flame is involved
If a joint is accidentally left unpressed, it leaks during the pressure test between 1 and 6.5 bar, so the mistake shows up before the pipework is covered. The elbow may be installed in floors, shafts or under plaster, but must be protected from UV radiation and weather. The IVAR.K PPSU range is made in sizes from 16 to 63 mm; for gentler deviations there are IVAR.K45 PPSU 45° elbows. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for joining pipes with IVAR.PRESS fittings.

Frequently asked questions
Which pipes is the 26x26 elbow intended for?
For ALPEX and TURATEC multilayer pipes and PEX pipes with a diameter of 26 mm. Both sockets have the same size; for transitions between diameters the system offers reducing fittings.
Can the elbow be installed in a floor or under plaster?
Yes, IVAR.PRESS press joints may be inaccessible – in floors, shafts or under plaster. However, the system must not be exposed to UV radiation or weather.
What tools do I need for installation?
A pipe cutter or shears to cut the pipe square, the original IVAR calibration and deburring tool and an approved pressing tool with B or F contour jaws for Ø 26 mm.
How do I recognise an unpressed joint?
During the pressure test between 1 and 6.5 bar an unpressed joint is not tight and water escapes from it. Correct insertion of the pipe is checked before pressing in the windows of the positioning ring.

To make life easier for our clients, our clients' customers and our employees, thanks to our ability to be constantly innovative.
Mission
To design and manufacture advanced hydronic solutions that reduce installation complexity and energy consumption.
“Made in Italy” adds value
IVAR has been producing heating and plumbing system components since 1985: valves for heating bodies, direct heat metering modules, heat cost allocators, pipes and fittings, substations for heating systems, distribution manifolds, radiant panel systems, and components for solar and geothermal systems. And it’s all “Made in Italy”.
Over 200 people are employed at our manufacturing facilities in Prevalle (in northern Italy’s Brescia province). The site has been designed to streamline our many production and operational stages.
The Italian headquarters also acts as a hub for the wider IVAR Group, set up with the goal of distributing products beyond Italy’s borders. The group now has 11 branches, in Australia, Belgium, China, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, the United States and Tunisia.
Know How
Research, development and numerous laboratory tests guarantee that our clients’ requests can be translated into new high-efficiency products.
The stages required for production take place internally, beginning with hot forming, which is carried out at our subsidiary Valmon Stampati. Our continuous implementation of projects under the Industry 4.0 initiative also allows us to take full advantage of new releases in technology and IT to improve our manufacturing efficiency.
As a company, IVAR is constantly evolving. Every day, we invest in strengthening our products, in improving our production processes and in attaining new patents and certifications.
