Manual axial press tool for 20 mm pipe – IVAR.A-PRESS
Code: I0000748Related products
Product detailed description
The IVAR.A-PRESS tool is used for manual axial pressing of IVAR.PPSU IC fittings on PE-X pipe. Its pistol shape and rotating head let you work one-handed with less force, even in installation positions that are hard to reach.
Features
- fixed base press forks for pipe with a 20 mm outside diameter (PE-X 20 x 2 mm)
- for 10 mm pipe (PE-X 10 x 1.3 mm), IVAR.TRM interchangeable forks are inserted into the fixed forks (code I0000687)
- angled fittings – tees and elbows – are pressed with special IVAR.OPM support adapters (code I0000686)
- the rotating head reaches every installation position
How to press
Slide the sleeve onto the pipe, expand the pipe properly and insert the fitting. Place the fitting with pipe and sleeve between the forks of the right size and squeeze the handle repeatedly until the sleeve touches the fitting flange – the joint is then complete. The IVAR.TRM forks are inserted turned by 90° and then rotated back.
Cover finished joints with suitable protection and keep them away from chemicals, sunlight and UV radiation. For heating and cooling use only antifreeze approved by the manufacturer of the IVAR.PPSU IC fittings.
