iJoint PP Flanged Joint with Metal Flange PN16

  Data Sheet |   Product Range | Instructional Video

The Georg Fischer iJoint flanged joint with metal flange is an engineered mechanical compression fitting designed for direct transition between polyethylene (PE 80, PE 100) or PEX piping and flanged equipment such as valves, pumps, flow meters, or metallic manifold systems. Engineered for potable water distribution, industrial process piping, and pressurized irrigation networks, this fitting provides a secure, fully end-load-resistant connection rated for a maximum operating pressure of 16 bar (PN16) across an operating temperature envelope of -10 degrees C to +45 degrees C.

Manufactured by GF Piping Systems, the fitting features a heavy-duty UV-stabilized polypropylene copolymer (PP-B) body and thrust ring, engineered in compliance with ISO 9080 for long-term hydrostatic aging resistance. The mechanical compression end utilizes a specialized polyacetal (POM) grip ring that firmly anchors into the pipe wall under axial tension to prevent pull-out, paired with a factory-lubricated food-safe EPDM lip gasket. The push-fit architecture allows rapid insertion of the pipe without disassembling the nut or beveling the pipe end, providing positive sealing even on ovalized, undersized, or scratched pipe surfaces. The flanged interface incorporates a robust steel backing ring designed for full dimensional compatibility with standard DIN EN 1092-1 and DIN 2501-1 flange patterns.

Key technical specifications and engineering features:

• Nominal pressure rating: PN16 (16 bar MOP) with DVGW GW 335-B3 approval.
• Operating temperature range: -10 degrees C to +45 degrees C.
• Pipe compatibility: PE 80, PE 100, PEX, and PEX-a pipes per EN 12201 and ISO 4427.
• Flange interface: Steel backing ring compatible with DIN EN 1092-1 / DIN 2501-1 drilling.
• Sealing: Factory-lubricated EPDM lip gasket certified for potable drinking water applications.
• Corrosion resistance: Plastic body eliminates scaling, incrustation, and galvanic corrosion.
