COOL-FIT
Embrace the cold: Make your cooling circuit more efficient with robust pre-insulated plastic pipes and fittings for secondary cooling loops. Designed and optimized for fast and easy installation with electrofusion technology and an expected service life of at least 25 years of operations with zero interruptions and maintenance. The reliable and efficient alternative to post-insulated metal piping systems is ideal for HVAC/R and refrigeration applications requiring energy-efficient cooling.
HEAT-FIT
Ultimate fire protection: HEAT-FIT, the fire retardant solution for plastic pipes, brings lightweight, corrosion-free thermoplastic piping systems in essential applications (L3 areas) on board. The system, consisting of pipes and fittings, copes with the strict regulations of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and makes Polyethylene Piping Systems (PE100) resistant to flame temperatures of 1000°C for at least 30 minutes under pressure of 3 bar.
SeaDrain White Marine Drainage
See the difference: The corrosion-free drainage system SeaDrain White is ideal for black and grey water applications. Made of polypropylene and designed for electrofusion and fast-lock jointing, the system is lightweight and fast to install. Thanks to its bright white colour, no additional painting is required after installation, reducing installation time and cost.
Butterfly Valve 565
Beats metal in every round: The new Butterfly Valve 565, available in a waver and lug-style version, helps to optimize piping systems built for water applications on board. Made of high-quality plastics, the valve does not corrode, is 60% lighter than metal solutions and allows easy and direct replacement of existing plastic or metal valves. The 565 Lug-Style comes with many marine and water approvals, including NSF, DNV, Lloyds Register, and KTW-BWGL. Furthermore, it is the first industrial valve with an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
