Gerpex Pipe & Fittings

Gerpex Multi-Layer Composite Pipe can be used in both traditional branch plumbing and point-to-point plumbing in conjunction with our manifold systems. It is suitable for use in both the domestic and commercial buildings and is fully WRAS approved for potable water in sanitary applications.

For branch plumbing applications, the system includes high quality brass press and compression fittings, together with tooling and a full range of accessories. Gerpex pipe is also fully compatible with our comprehensive range of sanitary and heating manifolds in for use in point-to-point installations using our patented Monoblocco fittings to make the connections.

The wide range of pipe sizes, fittings, accessories and various fastening options make the Gerpex System a complete and highly reliable solution for any project.

Design Benefits

• Our high quality Gerpex pipe and fittings are made in-house in our dedicated factories in Italy. Gerpex products are subject to stringent control checks in our purpose built analytical laboratory which are carried out before, during and after production from the raw material analysis through to the finished product performance checks. You can specify and install Gerpex pipe and fittings with total confidence.
• The Gerpex Press Fittings are produced from high quality brass with a double o-ring design for that extra peace of mind. The fittings are far more robust than plastic and composite alternatives.
• When compared to copper and stainless steel the smooth interior surface of Gerpex pipe promotes the smooth flow of water thus considerably reducing pressure drops across the system and minimising running noise reducing maintenance requirements giving the building occupier a more comfortable environment.

Installation Benefits

• Installation on site is extremely fast compared to copper and stainless steel systems due to the reduced number of joints required. The pipe can bend readily making the routing of the pipe around the building very quick and easy. Once bent the pipe retains its form so will stay in the desired position and not sag like some plastic alternatives.
• The Gerpex pipe has linear expansion characteristics similar to copper and far superior to polybutylene and polypropylene, saving time and money during installation by removing the need for additional expansion considerations.
• The product is light compared to copper or stainless steel A 200 metre coil of 16mm pipe weighs only 26kg compared to copper which would be 56kg making Gerpex much easier to carry around on site.
• Benefits health and safety on your project, cuts down the amount of hot works on site as no soldering is required at the joints. Saving time on permits to work and insurances.
• The pipe has low scrap value compared to copper or stainless steel reducing the risk of theft from site.
• The aluminium in the Gerpex pipe is picked up with a pipe detector giving you peace of mind if drilling or fixing into a wall or floor.
• There is no need to paint any exposed Gerpex pipe saving time on decoration and maintenance.
