The Mapress CuNi pressfitting system was developed for pipes carrying seawater in shipbuilding and other marine applications. It combines the advantages of the familiar Mapress steel system with the high sea water corrosion resistance, resistance to stress corrosion cracking and high strength of the specially selected copper nickel alloy CuNiFe1.6Mn.
The Mapress range consists of pipe and fittings. Along with other Mapress materials CuNi now benefits from the new press indicator. The brightly coloured indicator makes it easy to visibly distinguish pressed and unpressed joints. The CuNi system offers sizes (pipe ODs) ranging from 15 to 108mm. CuNi fittings are supplied with factory fitted black butyl rubber (CIIR) O-ring seals suitable for use with both seawater and fresh water. Mapress CuNi pipes are available in 6m lengths.
