Stainless steel piping with press-fit joints under a concrete ceiling

Geberit Mapress: press-fit joints instead of welds.

We design and install piping with the Geberit Mapress press-fit system in stainless steel, carbon steel and copper. The joint is pressed cold, with no welding and no naked flame: fast to install, even in buildings in use.

What we use Mapress for

01

Drinking and service water

stainless steel lines in commercial, industrial and public buildings.

02

Heating and cooling

closed circuits in carbon steel or stainless steel.

03

Compressed air and technical media

supply networks in workshops and production plants.

04

Alterations during operation

no hot work, no fire watch, short interruptions.

Fitter with a pressing tool and stainless steel press fittings

System and materials

Geberit Mapress is a press-fit system made up of pipes, press fittings and seal rings. The fitting is pushed onto the pipe and permanently pressed with the pressing tool.

MaterialTypical application
Stainless steelDrinking water, compressed air, technical media
Carbon steelHeating, cooling, closed circuits
CopperDrinking water, heating

Depending on the material, the system covers outside diameters up to 108 mm. Before quoting, we clarify which material and which seal ring suit the medium.

Why press instead of weld

Pressing and welding complement each other. Where pressure, temperature or medium require it, we weld; where a press-fit joint is sufficient, it is faster and cleaner.

  • No hot work — no welding, no naked flame, no hot-work permit.
  • Short installation time — a press-fit joint is made in a few seconds.
  • Clean site — no fumes, no grinding dust, suitable for buildings in use.
  • Verifiable — every joint is marked after pressing and checked in the pressure test.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Geberit Mapress?

A press-fit system for piping in stainless steel, carbon steel and copper. Pipe and fitting are pressed cold, with no welding and no naked flame.

What is Mapress suitable for?

For drinking water, heating, cooling, compressed air and technical media in commercial, industrial and public buildings. We check before quoting whether the system suits the medium.

When do you weld and when do you press?

We weld where pressure, temperature, medium or hygiene requirements demand it, for example on process lines. We press where a press-fit joint is permitted and installation has to be fast and free of hot work.

Do you install Mapress for private individuals?

No. We work for industrial companies, architects, construction companies and public bodies.
