Geberit Mapress C-Steel axial expansion joint d28 23935

Thermal expansion compensation in steel installations

The Geberit Mapress C-Steel axial compensator is an element of the Mapress steel installation system, designed to compensate for the thermal expansion of pipelines. Its main function is to absorb the elongation and contraction caused by temperature changes, which prevents stress in the installation and potential damage. This is particularly important in long sections of pipe, where temperature changes can generate significant forces.

Construction and application

This compensator utilizes Mapress crimp connections, ensuring quick and safe installation without welding. The construction with a stainless steel bellows allows for free axial movement, and the CIIR gasket ensures a tight connection. The product is used in heating, water supply, industrial installations, and shipbuilding. Thanks to its design, the compensator is effective in places where it is necessary to take into account the natural movements of the pipelines resulting from temperature differences.

• Purpose: Absorption of elongation and contraction of steel pipelines.
• System: Compatible with the Geberit Mapress C-Steel system.
• Material: Made of non-alloyed steel 1.0034 E195 (DIN EN 10305), which guarantees strength and corrosion resistance.
• Sealing: Equipped with a CIIR (isobutyl-isoprene rubber) gasket providing reliable sealing.
• Temperature range: Allows operation in a wide temperature range from -30°C to +120°C.
• Maximum working pressure: Up to 1600 kPa, ensuring safety of use in typical installations.

The Geberit Mapress C-Steel axial compensator is also characterized by ease of installation thanks to the use of Mapress crimping technology – it does not require welding, which reduces installation time and minimizes the risk of errors. In addition, its design allows for visual control of the connection correctness thanks to the presence of a crimp indicator. This solution is appreciated by both professional installers and end-users who value the reliability and durability of the system.
