Geberit Mapress Therm for heating and cooling circuits
Cost-effective and corrosion-resistant stainless steel system
This low-alloy stainless steel piping system is a corrosion-resistant and cost-effective solution for closed heating and cooling circuits – applications where moisture cannot always be avoided.
In cooling systems, temperature differences between the contents of the pipes and the outdoor area lead to condensation. When laying floors, wet, cement-based building materials, inadequate drying times and the unintentional ingress of plaster or patio water can all present a hazard.
The Geberit Mapress Therm piping system made of CrTi steel is suitable for both of these application scenarios without requiring extensive rework and at a consistent price level.
Main applications and areas of use
Geberit Mapress Therm is suitable for the following applications:
Closed cooling circuits in industry
Geberit Mapress Therm offers reliable protection against external corrosion for closed cooling circuits with condensate formation.
Heating and cooling in technical building systems
Geberit Mapress Therm is not only suitable for cooling pipes but can also be used in closed heating systems, including underfloor heating systems and radiators.
Solar and district heating
Geberit Mapress Therm can also be used for solar technology and district heating water.
Sprinkler and extinguishing water pipes
Geberit Mapress Therm has been tested and approved for “wet” sprinkler and extinguishing water pipes.
Benefits of Geberit Mapress Therm Suitable for many closed-system applications
Cooling and heating applications
The Geberit Mapress Therm piping system is suitable for a wide range of applications in industrial environments, including heating and cooling circuits (with or without frost protection), as well as compressed air, inert gas and negative pressure applications.
Clear system marking
Geberit Mapress Therm is clearly recognisable thanks to orange pressing indicators on the pressfittings and lines on system pipes. The ‘non-potable water’ symbol has also been added.
This symbol is printed on every Geberit Mapress Therm fitting so you can still clearly recognise them even after pressing.
