Whether its drinking water, heating or gas, installers should consider much faster and safer alternatives to using conventional screwed and soldered pipework connection methods.

Geberit Mapress is a high-quality, reliable and specialist press-fit supply pipework system that requires no hot works and is installed in six simple steps. Installers are simply required to cut and deburr the pipe, mark the insertion depth, prepare the fitting, insert the pipe into the fitting then press and remove the pressing indicator.

Many installers still use solder and screwed pipe – ‘because they always have’. However, the requirement for hot works is often inconvenient and at times impossible. Site conditions or safety

regulations can mean that hot works are unsuitable for the job. Press-fitting can deliver a host of installation benefits, with no hot works and no cooling

down period.

Geberit Mapress offers a much faster and safer alternative to conventional pipework connection methods. It’s not just about safety. Another important consideration for installers is that of increasing health and safety legislation; hot works require propane and, therefore, a hot relevant permit.

Geberit Mapress is available in copper, stainless steel, carbon steel and CuNiFe (12 to 108mm), offering a variety of uses across a scope of different applications. Seal rings come in various colours and materials according to each application to ensure easy identification.

Pressing is made easy with a six-step process: cut and deburr pipe, mark the insertion depth, prepare the fitting, insert the pipe into the fitting, press with a specialist pressing tool and remove the pressing indicator. It couldn’t be

simpler to achieve a safe, reliable connection for everything from sprinkler systems and gas applications, to potable water, refrigeration and compressed air.
