ABS Metric

Georg Fischer (GF) ABS Metric piping system offers pipes, fittings, and valves designed for use in demanding environments where strength, reliability, and safety are critical. Made from Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS), the system combines toughness with excellent chemical resistance and proven performance, making it a trusted choice across industries worldwide.

• High Impact Strength: ABS maintains toughness even at very low temperatures, operating reliably down to around −50 °C.
• Pressure Performance: Rated up to 15 bar, depending on size and conditions, suitable for challenging applications.
• Lightweight & Easy to Install: Much lighter than metal systems, simplifying handling and reducing installation costs.
• Halogen-Free: Improves fire safety by reducing toxic smoke emissions, particularly important in enclosed spaces.
• Energy Efficiency: Low thermal conductivity reduces heat loss and minimises condensation in chilled water systems.
• Complete System: Pipes, fittings, valves, and actuation solutions all designed to work together for consistency and reliability.

The Georg Fischer ABS Metric system carries a range of approvals that demonstrate its safety, compliance, and suitability for critical applications:

• WRAS Approval – Confirms the system’s safety for use with potable water in the UK. Essential for compliance with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations.
• DWI Approval – Listed by the UK Drinking Water Inspectorate, certifying its use in public water supply networks.
• BS Standards Compliance – Manufactured in accordance with BS 5391 and BS 5392 standards, ensuring high-quality performance and compatibility.
• Quality & Environmental Management – Produced under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 systems, ensuring consistent quality and environmentally responsible manufacturing.

Why do these approvals matter?

• Potable Water Safety: Ensures drinking water remains uncontaminated.
• Regulatory Compliance: Projects requiring public or commercial water supply systems meet UK standards.
• Specification Assurance: Many commercial, healthcare, and marine installations demand certified systems.
• Reduced Risk: Lower likelihood of failure, rework, or regulatory issues.

• Trusted Heritage: Over 200 years of experience in fluid systems, with decades of innovation in plastic piping.
• Complete System Offering: Every component — pipe, fitting, and valve — is designed and manufactured to integrate seamlessly.
• Stringent Testing: All products undergo rigorous quality control in accredited laboratories.
• Global Reputation: GF is recognised worldwide for reliability, technical expertise, and long-term product performance.
• Sustainability Benefits: Lightweight ABS reduces transport and installation emissions compared with metal alternatives.
