Pipe Cap PRESS IVAR.IVN450 – stainless steel AISI 304, 42 mm
Code: IVN450.42Product detailed description
The cap IVAR.IVN450 for size 42 mm closes the end of a stainless steel pipe. It has a single crimping neck that is slipped onto a pipe of the same diameter and crimped using crimping tools – without cutting threads or welding. The fitting is not reduced.
The material is stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304), the connection is sealed with an EPDM O-ring. The cap is marked with the logo AISI 304, the size, the traceability code, and the symbol indicating it is not suitable for potable water.
The LBP (Leak Before Press) type O-ring is shaped so that an uncrimped connection does not leak during pressure testing and reveals itself. The second indicator is an orange crimping indicator stripe, by which you can easily recognize an uncrimped cap at a glance.
Application
- closed heating and cooling systems
- solar systems
- compressed air and vacuum systems
- inert and technical gases
- technical and operational liquids, industrial applications
- sewage and rainwater
The circuit may contain antifreeze with a concentration of up to 50 %. The cap is not intended for use in potable water systems.
Installation and crimping
Connections are crimped using contour M. For a diameter of 42 mm, chain pliers with at least three segments and a suitable adapter are required – the manufacturer does not accept standard single-piece pliers for this size. Profile V is excluded.
Cut the pipe end perpendicularly, deburr it from the inside and outside, and mark the insertion depth with a marker. Before sliding on the cap, check the position of the O-ring; if necessary, moisten it only with water – oils, greases, or lubricants are not used. Follow the system installation instructions and flush the circuit before starting; the manufacturer recommends GEL.LONG LIFE 100 for treating heating water.

Frequently asked questions
What is the IVAR.IVN450 cap used for?
It closes the end of a stainless steel pipe with a diameter of 42 mm. It is slipped onto the pipe and crimped in the same way as other fittings in the system, without cutting threads.
Is the cap suitable for potable water systems?
No. The cap made of stainless steel AISI 304 is not suitable for potable water according to the manufacturer, as indicated by the symbol on the product. It is intended for heating, cooling, solar circuits, and for compressed air or technical gas and liquid systems.
What crimping pliers do I need for size 42 mm?
Chain pliers with contour M and at least three segments, usually with a transition adapter. The manufacturer does not accept single-piece pliers for diameters of 42 mm and above, and profile V is prohibited.
How do I check if the cap is properly crimped?
The orange crimping indicator stripe and the LBP O-ring help. An uncrimped connection will leak during pressure testing. You can thus detect an incorrect crimp before starting the system.
