Geberit

The Geberit Mapress press-fit system offers fast, secure installations across a range of applications:

• Geberit Mapress Stainless Steel: Corrosion-resistant and ideal for drinking water, industrial, and chemical use.
• Geberit Mapress Copper: Offering excellent heat conductivity, perfect for both domestic and commercial installations.
• Geberit Mapress Carbon Steel: A cost-effective solution for closed heating and cooling circuits.

Each Mapress product features a leak detection system, ensuring a premium installation experience with minimal risk of error.

The Geberit CuNiFe range extends the Mapress press-fit system to a copper-nickel-iron alloy known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, particularly in contact with salt water. The alloy's resistance comes from a thin protective film that forms naturally when the material meets clean seawater, made up mainly of copper oxide and reinforced by the nickel and iron content. With a long track record in salt-water pipelines, it is the specialist choice for shipbuilding, offshore platforms, and other marine and industrial applications.

On board vessels and offshore installations, the system is used for engine room systems and for the supply of service water, pool water and heating water. It is also suited to pumping bilge water to separators for treatment, and to both wet and dry sprinkler and extinguishing water pipework in maritime settings. Beyond the marine sector, the range is designed for other seawater-contact applications such as desalination plants.

The Geberit FlowFit range introduces a next-generation piping system, combining ease of installation with optimised water flow. It pairs a multilayer composite pipe with press-fit connections, bringing together the stability of metal and the corrosion resistance and straightforward handling of plastic. The pipe is built in three layers, with a central aluminium layer giving strength and flexibility and a PE-RT plastic layer on each side to prevent corrosion and provide a smooth internal bore. The system is suitable for both potable water and heating applications.

The flow-optimised fittings reduce pressure loss, so smaller pipe diameters can be used, creating a more compact supply system. In potable water installations, this benefits both draw-off time and water hygiene. Fittings are available in PPSU, lead-free gunmetal and lead-free silicon bronze, and pipes are supplied as both rods and coils, with or without insulation.

The Geberit HDPE drainage system is a high-density polyethylene solution designed for reliable and durable drainage applications. It covers the full range of drainage needs, from building drainage to trade effluent, and is equally suited to roof drainage, industrial and laboratory applications. The system is ideal for both above-ground and underground installations. Thanks to its welded joints, pipes can also be cast directly into concrete, where the fittings act as secure anchor points.

The material offers exceptional resistance to chemicals, UV radiation and impacts. It withstands around 95% of commercially available alkalis, acids and chemicals, and it tolerates vibration and subsidence without breaking or permanent deformation. UV resistance comes from the addition of approximately 2% carbon black to the polyethylene. The system handles hot water up to 80°C, and up to 100°C briefly and without mechanical stress, making it suitable for a variety of environments across industrial, commercial and residential settings.
