HEAT-FIT

The HEAT-FIT fire retardant system from Georg Fischer Piping Systems offers ultimate fire protection for thermoplastic piping systems in essential marine applications. HEAT-FIT is a lightweight, corrosion-free, and durable alternative to traditional metal pipes, meeting the strictest fire resistance standards set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

The HEAT-FIT System

The HEAT-FIT system allows the use of plastic piping systems in applications that previously required metal pipes. With its innovative fire-retardant technology, the system can withstand temperatures of up to 1,000°C for 30 minutes under pressure, making it suitable for L3 applications on ships, such as engine rooms, pump rooms, and other critical areas where fire safety is crucial.

Key Benefits of HEAT-FIT

• Lighter than metal: The HEAT-FIT system is, on average, 30% lighter than traditional metal pipes, resulting in lower energy consumption for transport and installation.
• Exceptional fire resistance: The system has been tested and certified according to IMO A753 Fire Resistance L3 standards, providing reliable protection at extremely high temperatures.
• Easy installation: No specialized skills are required to install HEAT-FIT, and the system can be quickly and easily installed without the need for hot work.
• Long lifespan: Made from high-quality materials, the HEAT-FIT system is designed to withstand tough conditions and provide long-lasting protection.
• Compatible with ecoFIT: The system is fully compatible with Georg Fischer’s PE ecoFIT piping system, ensuring seamless integration in both new and existing installations.
  
  

How HEAT-FIT Provides Ultimate Protection

The HEAT-FIT system offers unrivaled fire protection for plastic piping systems. Its special intumescent coating on both pipes and fittings forms a protective layer when exposed to flames, preventing pipes and fittings from overheating and being damaged by fire. This feature is essential for emergencies on ships and offshore installations.

Sustainable and Future-Oriented

The HEAT-FIT system is designed with the future in mind. In addition to its outstanding fire resistance, the system contributes to a more sustainable marine industry by reducing weight and corrosion. This not only saves on installation and maintenance costs but also helps reduce the overall environmental footprint.

Lower CO2 emissions

The lighter weight of the HEAT-FIT system results in reduced fuel consumption during transport and installation. Furthermore, using plastic instead of metal reduces the need for resource-intensive mining and production methods, helping to lower CO2 emissions.

Long-term cost savings

With its long lifespan and low maintenance requirements, the HEAT-FIT system is a cost-effective solution in the long term. The pipes and fittings are resistant to corrosion and wear, meaning they need to be replaced less frequently than their metal counterparts.

Versatile applications

From cruise ships to offshore platforms, the HEAT-FIT system can be used in a variety of marine environments. It is suitable for both essential and non-essential applications, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of fire safety requirements.

Installing HEAT-FIT

The installation of the HEAT-FIT system is simple and fast. Pipes are joined using proven techniques such as butt fusion or electrofusion, while HEAT-FIT Jackets are manually applied. No hot work or specialized training is required, making installation safe and cost-efficient.
