Features of the Geberit Mapress Copper Cap 22mm

1. Material: The cap is made from high-quality copper, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. Copper is a preferred material in plumbing due to its excellent thermal conductivity and antimicrobial properties.
2. Size: The cap has a diameter of 22mm, making it suitable for use with 22mm copper pipes, a common size in domestic and commercial plumbing systems.
3. Press-Fit Technology: Geberit Mapress fittings use press-fit technology, which provides a secure and permanent connection without the need for soldering or welding. This makes installations faster, safer, and more reliable.
4. O-Ring Seal: The cap includes an EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) O-ring seal, which ensures a watertight connection. The O-ring is resistant to a wide range of chemicals and temperatures, enhancing the cap’s versatility.

Benefits of Using Geberit Mapress Copper Cap 22mm

1. Ease of Installation: The press-fit system simplifies the installation process. It reduces the time required compared to traditional soldering methods, minimizing labor costs and project timelines.
2. Reliability and Safety: The press-fit technology ensures a secure and permanent connection, significantly reducing the risk of leaks. The system is also safer as it eliminates the need for an open flame, reducing the risk of fire hazards.
3. Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including hot and cold water systems, heating systems, and compressed air lines. The copper material and robust O-ring seal ensure the cap can handle varying pressures and temperatures.
4. Compliance and Standards: Geberit Mapress fittings, including the copper cap, comply with stringent international standards, ensuring high quality and reliability. They are WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved, ensuring their suitability for use in potable water systems.

Applications

1. Domestic Plumbing: Ideal for sealing ends of copper pipes in residential plumbing systems, including hot and cold water supply lines.
2. Commercial Plumbing: Used in various commercial settings such as office buildings, hotels, and hospitals, where reliability and safety are paramount.
3. Industrial Applications: Suitable for use in light industrial applications, including HVAC systems and compressed air lines.

Installation Process

1. Preparation: Ensure the copper pipe end is clean and free of burrs. Cut the pipe to the required length using a pipe cutter.
2. Fitting Placement: Place the Geberit Mapress Copper Cap over the end of the pipe. Ensure it is fully inserted and correctly aligned.
3. Pressing: Use a Geberit pressing tool with the appropriate jaw size for 22mm fittings. Position the jaws over the fitting and press until the tool indicates the connection is complete.
4. Inspection: Check the connection to ensure it is secure and properly sealed. Perform any necessary pressure tests to confirm the integrity of the installation.
