Geberit has launched a new multi-layer supply piping system to the UK market. FlowFit is the manufacturer’s biggest product launch to the UK in recent years and seeks to combine the versatility of the company’s multi-layer piping system together with the installation benefits of its press-fit method.
Suitable for both potable water and heating applications FlowFit consists of three layers; a central aluminium layer which makes the pipe strong yet flexible, with a plastic (PE-RT) layer either side of this to prevent corrosion and ensure a smooth internal bore.
Geberit FlowFit also incorporates press-fit technology. Available in eight dimensions with only two pressing jaws required for the entire range, tool changes have been minimised. FlowFit fittings and jaws are colour-coded to indicate which tool should be used. Once pressed, the pressing indicator detaches from the fitting, meaning any unpressed fittings are immediately visible.
Peter Davis, Product and Marketing Director at Geberit, said: “Geberit FlowFit represents a major breakthrough in piping technology and we are excited to bring this innovative system to market. We focused on perfecting the installation process and combining this with our innovative press fit technology. The result is something we’re incredibly proud of and represents years of innovation and collaboration.”
