Geberit Mapress CuNiFe

Geberit Mapress CuNiFe is a sea water resistant material. It is especially suited to shipbuilding and has proved itself over many years with pipelines carrying salt water in lots of installations.

The copper-nickel-iron alloy is used in shipbuilding for engine room systems, the supply of service water, pool water and heating water.

Thanks to the pressing technology, installations can be carried out reliably and quickly without complex welding and soldering.

Always consider
The 6 stage pressing process

• Cut and deburr the pipe
• Mark the insertion depth on the pipe
• Prepare the fitting
• Insert the pipe in to the fitting
• Press with the appropriate jaw or collar
• Remove the pressing indicator

Check you are using the correct material for the required application. See page 8 for an in depth overview of the applications for Geberit Mapress CuNiFe. Only Geberit Mapress system pipes are suitable to press Geberit Mapress CuNiFe fittings. To adapt on to existing or dissimilar materials you must use a threaded connection.

Use the correct tooling

Always check that you are using the correct tools, this can be checked in the Geberit Tooling Product Guide and Price List.
