Sunseeker

Geberit’s piping systems offer the boatbuilding industry many advantages, not least because its thin-walled pipes reduce overall weight significantly. In addition to the weight savings, Sunseeker International was impressed with the hygienic properties and wide variety of media that Geberit Mapress can carry, including potable water, hot water, seawater, compressed air, fuels and oils.

Within the boat-building industry, where safety is paramount, another key advantage of the Geberit Mapress system is its stalwart sealing integrity and reliability. Salt water can corrode metals, whereas copper-nickel alloys have proven themselves over many years in pipelines carrying salt water and in shipfitting areas. With Geberit Mapress CuNiFe, welding is unnecessary and corrosion on piping systems is effectively prevented. Not only can connections in Geberit Mapress piping systems be pressed in a few simple steps, without the need for welding, screwing or soldering, they also provide a reliable, tight connection where any leaks can be visibly detected during the pressure test making installation, even in tight spaces, a breeze.
