Geberit Mapress C-Steel Axial Compensator – a reliable connection in heating and industrial installations

The Geberit Mapress C-Steel axial compensator d54 is an element of the Mapress C-Steel installation system, designed to compensate for thermal expansion in pipelines. It enables safe and efficient installation, minimizing stresses caused by temperature changes. This is particularly important in heating, cooling, sprinkler systems, and industrial installations using compressed air.

Construction and application

The compensator is made of carbon steel E195 (RSt 34-2) with material number 1.0034, according to DIN EN 10305. It utilizes the Mapress crimping connection technology, ensuring quick and reliable installation without welding. This saves installers time and minimizes the risk of errors. The compensator is designed for use with pipes with an outer diameter of 54 mm (nominal diameter DN 50). Its construction allows for the absorption of pipeline movements resulting from thermal expansion, protecting installation components from damage.

Advantages and benefits

• Fast installation: The Mapress system eliminates the need for welding, reducing installation time and labor costs.
• High reliability: Crimp connections ensure tightness and durability, minimizing the risk of leaks.
• Corrosion resistance: Galvanic zinc coating protects the elements from the effects of moisture and corrosion, increasing the service life of the installation.
• Versatile application: The compensator is suitable for various types of installations – heating, cooling, sprinkler, and industrial with compressed air (after dehumidification).
• Safety: Compensation for thermal expansion reduces stress in pipelines, preventing damage and failures.
• Easy identification: A color indicator on the compensator facilitates identification of the material (red – C-Steel carbon steel) and the purpose of the element.
• Protection during transport: A factory-mounted blue cap protects the pipe end from dirt and damage during transport and installation.

However, remember that Mapress C-Steel compensators are not intended for use with potable water.
