Lighter in every way
Lighter in weight, lighter on maintenance requirements, lighter on installation time and labour, and lighter in lifetime system costs. SeaDrain® White is the new best in class piping system solution for black and grey water applications in marine passenger vessels
Engineered for the task
SeaDrain® White was engineered from the beginning with today’s marine drainage applications in mind. Long-term system sustainability and passenger safety were critical considerations in the system design. The complete system ranges in size from 1-1/2” to 6” (DN40 – DN150), and includes all the components required to complete any installation.
SeaDrain® White is suitable for cruise ships, passenger ferries, and luxury yacht installations, in both new build and retrofit construction. As a plastic piping system, SeaDrain® White offers numerous advantages over traditional metal systems and will provide a long, maintenance-free life. Installation of the system is eased by the lightweight components, the reduced need for pipe hangers, and the option of two simple jointing methods. There’s no need to paint after installation as SeaDrain® White is manufactured from a UV protected white polypropylene material.
Electrofusion and Fast-Lock mechanical jointing
SeaDrain® White utilises either our patented Fast-Lock mechanical fastening system or electrofusion (USPH compliant) jointing. If required for your installation, the two jointing systems can be intermixed. The SeaDrain Fast-Lock® jointing method utilises an integrated clamp that can resist long-term burst pressures up to 36 psi (2.5 bar) independent of secondary restraint, such as pipe hangers.
A complete system solution
Working directly with marine engineers in new build and retrofit construction, GF Piping Systems developed SeaDrain® White to be a complete system solution to control drainage from the deck, to the holding tanks.
By incorporating the industry’s first patented thermoplastic drain scupper for the marine market, SeaDrain® White offers a complete solution for black and grey water marine drainage. The system can be used throughout the ship, from open decks, balconies, class A0, and class A60 fire-protected decks to customer-facing areas. It also has the necessary custom components for food preperation (USPH) areas, cabin service lockers, and applications, where threaded and mechanically joined connections are required.
Benefits that are beyond compare
GF Piping Systems’ new SeaDrain® White drainage system for black and grey water in marine applications provides multiple advantage over alternative marine drainage systems. See the difference that SeaDrain® White can have on your marine installation:
Faster installation
Both jointing technologies offered with SeaDrain® White provide for a fast installation with no metal welding required.The SeaDrain Fast-Lock® mechanical jointing system installs quickly with a single 8mm or 10mm socket driver tool. Additionally, when installed via electrofusion jointing, permanent (USPH compliant) connections are assembled in minutes using a GF Piping Systems electrofusion machine.
Paint free
SeaDrain® White is manufactured in a bright-white UV protected thermoplastic material, making it ready for installation in customer facing locations without the extra time, expense and maintenance of painting and upkeep.
Corrosion-free
Made of polypropylene, SeaDrain® White is non- corroding and environmentally friendly. The ultra- smooth inner surface eliminates encrustation and reduces maintenance downtime. Compared to metal alternatives, SeaDrain® White will provide a longer system life with lower maintenance costs.
High pressure
SeaDrain® White has a best-in-class safety pressure rating of 4 Bar, making it ideal when passenger safety is critical for black and grey water applications.
Light weight
Not only is the SeaDrain® White system 50% lighter than alternative systems, it also requires, on average, about 45,000 fewer pipe hangers in a midsize cruise ship installation. This weight savings translates to reduced labour costs during installation and greater fuel savings over the life of the vessel.
SeaDrain® White competitive advantages
A complete piping system for black and grey water drainage on passenger vessels, SeaDrain® White offers a lightweight, easy-to-install system that enhances safety and efficiency on board. The corrosion-free and incrustation-free plastic piping system effectively eliminates leakage and downtime due to corrosion damage.
Increased safety onboard
SeaDrain® White is produced from a light, flexible, tough and corrosion-free high-performance polymer. To reduce the risk of bacterial contamination of the ship, factory tests have been performed in extreme conditions.
Environmentally friendly
Made of polypropylene plastic, SeaDrain® White takes less CO2 to manufacture making it an eco-friendly alternative to metals.
UV-resistant, no paint needed
SeaDrain® White’s bright white external colouring includes additives for UV resistance against discoloration, negating the need for external paint. Therefore, both pleasing aesthetics and reduced work hours are achieved across an install of up to 24,000 ft of balcony piping alone.
Lower operating costs
Made entirely from a non-corroding thermoplastic, SeaDrain® White is engineered for a minimum of 25 years life compared to five to ten years for metal alternatives
