We report optical and IR polarization studies of the intermediate polar V1223 Sgr. The optical and IR light curves have assisted in the determination by Warner & Cropper of the photometric period of 0.14 day. The IR flux of the 794-s pulsations is consistent with X-ray heating of a cool atmosphere. The white-dwarf spin period of 746s was not detected and upper limits to pulsed polarization at this period are ±3 per cent at V, ±0.5 per cent at R, +0.5/-1.O per cent at J and ±8 per cent at K. The IR data are consistent with the published fit of a steady state optically thick disc model to the optical and UV continua. No IR excess from the secondary is apparent. High-dispersion spectroscopic observations over half the orbital period show a small radial velocity change accompanied by complex line profile changes. The low mass function of 0.0026±0.0015 Msun implies a low inclination (<40° ) for a main-sequence companion. The line profile changes are consistent with an S-wave behaviour and place the hotspot on the centres-of-mass line.
