Adding value to living spaces with its sanitary ware and sanitary ware products, Geberit has been understanding the unique needs of maritime projects and developing solutions specific to the needs since 1986 with the experience it has gained. Geberit’s Mapress CuNiFe System Pipes, which it offers to its users for safe yacht journeys in this direction, promise high resistance to salt water, long life and easy maintenance. Providing superior efficiency with its highly resistant structure against corrosion and other external factors, Mapress CuNiFe proves itself especially in seawater transmission lines and shipbuilding with its copper-nickel-iron alloy.
Swiss sanitary ware giant Geberit offers top-level comfort for sea travel with its R&D and high-engineering solutions in living spaces as well as in industry and shipbuilding. The brand’s Mapress CuNiFe System Pipes, which meet the expectations of yacht owners for a trouble-free voyage with top-segment features, continue their superior performance for many years thanks to their copper-nickel-iron alloy. Mapress CuNiFe, which is fully compatible with yachts manufactured in Turkey according to the criteria determined by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), offers assurance on enjoyable sea travels.
Sealing, durability, easy installation = CuNiFe
“We play an active role in a wide range of maritime projects such as yachts, cruise ships, military ships and offshore platforms, especially with our supply pipe systems, installation solutions and bathroom product groups,” said Geberit Turkey Product Manager Irmak Kip, adding, “Our most fundamental goal in this area is to continue to be a preferred and trusted solution partner in the maritime sector with our systems that offer durability, safety and ease of installation. Maritime is not just a sector for us; it is a constantly developing, technically challenging but also inspiring field. In this context, Mapress CuNiFe, which we developed for use in seawater transmission systems on yachts, stands out with its longevity, leak-proof installation and easy maintenance. Especially in the harsh conditions of the maritime sector, thanks to the natural corrosion resistance offered by the CuNiFe material, these systems are a long-lasting and reliable solution. Since CuNiFe pipes show excellent resistance to high-salinity seawater, they are frequently preferred in applications such as cooling water, ballast and bilge systems, fire extinguishing lines and seawater supply systems. One of the greatest advantages of these systems is that they fully meet the expectations of impermeability, durability and easy installation, which are very important in maritime projects.”
Geberit pipe systems are manufactured to provide a service life of at least 50 years
Emphasizing that CuNiFe pipes can be assembled quickly and safely without welding or soldering by using press connection technology, Kip continued his words as follows: “In this way, we both shorten the assembly time and make it possible to work without the risk of fire. Since the CuNiFe alloy can maintain its form and durability at high temperatures, it allows the system to maintain its integrity in the event of a fire. Thanks to its high corrosion resistance against seawater due to its natural structure, the maintenance requirement is reduced to a minimum, and the system continues to operate safely for many years. In addition, as Geberit, we manufacture our pipe systems to provide a service life of at least 50 years. This long life minimizes the need for maintenance, while its modular structure eliminates the need to disassemble the entire system for possible part replacements. This creates a great advantage, especially in areas where access is difficult, such as yachts. In terms of warranty, we offer a 10-year warranty for our products. This means that we provide our users not only with a quality product, but also with long-term assurance. In addition, the fact that we provide spare parts for up to 50 years even for products whose production has been discontinued is a great plus in terms of system continuity. In short, CuNiFe more than meets the expectations of durability, longevity and assurance in the yacht sector. This positions us not only as a product provider, but also as a long-term solution partner.”
