Georg Fischer Piping DWV Fittings
W&O announced new fittings for the Georg Fischer SeaCor marine thermoplastic piping system. The addition of Schedule 80 drain waste and vent (DWV) fittings will complete the current product offering for SeaCor Schedule 80 thermoplastic pipe. Customers will now have access to a complete thermoplastic piping system solution, with one material and one installation process, for use in all nonessential grey, black and freshwater applications.
As a Georg Fischer’s distributor in North America, W&O saw a need and worked alongside the OEM to expand the product line to include unions; plugs; ball, check and butterfly valves, as well as special pipe supports and other installation accessories. Georg Fischer designed the fittings and is manufacturing the new, one-of-a-kind molds in its USCG-approved U.S. manufacturing facility in Little Rock, Ark.
The addition of the DWV fittings allows W&O to offer the SeaCor system for all shipboard sanitary and technical water management requirements. SeaCor can be installed from the water supply tank, through the pumps and into all onboard locations for water supply. The same system can be used to collect grey and black water, and bring it back for treatment and eventual discharge.
The SeaCor system is the only commercially available thermoplastic plastic piping systems that meets the IMO/SOLAS USCG requirements for flame spread, low smoke and toxicity. In addition to USCG approval #164.141/36/0, SeaCor has been approved for shipboard use through the ABS Type Approval program (Certificate #08=HS24293B-6-PDA) and is approved for marine use by Transport Canada.
