FIV, a company that manufactures valves, water
gas taps and components for heating and plumbing, presents its FIVPress, the
complete multilayered system (pipe and fittings) for heating and plumbing
systems, all of which are manufactured entirely in the company facilities. The
FIVPEX pipe is produced by coupling a layer of aluminium within two layers of
polyethylene and continuing the mesh process. This combines the advantages of
metal (dimensional stability, high resistance to temperature and pressure) with
those of plastic (easy working, good chemical inertia), guarantying FIVPEX
maximum performance levels.
Thanks
to FIVPRESS fittings, it is possible to obtain rapid and secure seals between
the pipe and fitting by pressing steel bushing with specific tools. In
addition, the special profile of the fitting and the use of a double o-ring
ensure long-lasting hydraulic and mechanical seal.
The
entire range of FIVPRESS fittings manufactured in the company arrives at Ø 63,
and is equipped with a special ring in PTFE that electrically insulates the
aluminium of the brass fitting. The use of the fittings to press renders
installation of the pipe simple, rapid and above all possible with only a
minimum number of tools. The threading of the fittings, 24x19 (or 32x1.5),
allows the use of a single type of fitting that can be coupled with various
seals of different sizes, thus rationalizing stocks. Further facilitating
installation, the single unit seal on the multilayered pipe is provided with
all of its components (nut, ogive, adaptor) already assembled and ready for
pipe insertion.
