Mepla Geberit, the system created by Geberit multilayer pipe for water supply and heating systems, made of synthetic material and Aluminum (metal-plastic), is enriched with new technical details that make it safer and easier to install. Characterized by the "press fittings for joining the pipes and fittings, Geberit Mepla has re-designed profile of the fittings in sizes from 16 to 75 mm, further simplifying the processing and reliability.
The Geberit Mepla allows the realization of a complete system of water supply: dall'allacciamento the boiler, with the departures of the risers to the distribution plan. In the first case you can resort to the bars, and for distribution to the plan are used, usually rolls. Geberit Mepla is available in 8 sizes: 16, 20 and 26 mm in coils and bars, 32,40,50,63 and 75 mm only in bars.
plants adduction so made by Geberit are guaranteed for 50 years to 10 bar pressure, 70 ° C operating temperature with the annual peak of 150 hours at 95 ° C, ie well beyond the normal conditions of the facility.
The significant advantage of using Geberit Mepla plans is being able to shape the tube with ease. The form data is maintained, allowing the installer to follow the path geometry to achieve without having to use intermediate connections. The last step is to press on the pipe fittings, without the need to include reinforcement bushings, with the proper tools. Working times are shortened considerably. For the implementation of the entire system, the installer uses a single system and benefits from everywhere of the same assurance.
Thanks to the special aluminum core, the inner tube of PE-Xb and PE outer tube in a high density of black Geberit Mepla ensures a limited expansion, excellent resistance to corrosion and abrasion, and UV and water resistance oxygen diffusion. The Geberit system Mepla obtained by the IIP mark of conformity for its multi-layer pipes and Geberit Geberit Mepla MeplaTherm UNI 10954 - Class 1 - Type A.
