In a bid to share the many benefits of its Mapress pressfitting system with even more installers, the Geberit Landrover and trailer was been re-fuelled and is hit the road once again, as it went On Tour to suppliers up and down the country earlier this month. Giving installers who are yet to convert to Geberit Mapress the opportunity to get hands-on experience of how simple the pressing system is to use and how it can revolutionise the way they work, the tour gets off to a head start for 2013 by visiting 13 Plumb Centers in the south of the UK during April and May.

Available in stainless steel, carbon steel, copper and CuNiFe, Geberit Mapress offers permanently leak-proof connections in no time at all, enabling quick, safe and cost-effective installation. Geberit Mapress can be used in a wide variety of applications including plumbing and heating installations on both commercial and domestic projects and offers many unique benefits to installers, including pressing indicators and defined leak paths which always put safety first, while reducing fitting times.

With no hot works required, the Mapress connections are also ideal for installing pipework on refurbishment projects, whilst special protection plugs ensure the pipes are kept free of dust and debris during transportation and when on site awaiting installation.

At each and every stop-off, members of Geberit’s technical advisors will be on hand to answer questions and to sign installers up to the Geberit Mapress system, with many incentives up for grabs for those that do. Geberit On Tour will visit the following Plumb Center venues:

Wednesday 8 May – Glastonbury
Thursday 9 May – Weston Super Mare

Tuesday 14 May – Bletchley
Wednesday 15 May – Wolverton
Thursday 16 May – Hemel Hempstead
Friday 17 May – Aylesbury

During the tour installers will also be able to sign up to the Geberit Challenge, which aims to find the fastest fitter for 2013. Teams will go head-to-head in a test of competence, skill and speed, with the overall winners from all the regional heats jetting off to enjoy an all-expenses-paid holiday in the sun in Dubai.
