Product catalog summary
Introduction
ACO Marine, a division of the ACO Group, has launched the GMX and GMX-F ranges of galvanized and coated steel pipes, designed for drainage and fire protection systems. These products are internationally certified and supported by specialized sales contacts.

Material Properties
The GM-X steel pipes are engineered to meet stringent safety standards, offering cost and weight efficiencies due to their reduced wall thickness. They are hot galvanized and internally coated to prevent corrosion and minimize friction.

GM-X Socket and Seal
The GM-X socket features a two-stage design that ensures secure connections, compliant with DIN EN 1123 seal-tight standards. It can withstand pressures up to 15 bar for smaller diameters and includes securing clips for enhanced stability.

Installation and Corrosion Proofing
Installation is facilitated by plug-in socket joints, and the pipes are impact-resistant. Zinc and internal coatings provide optimal corrosion protection. Cutting to length requires de-burring to protect seals.

Production Monitoring and Quality Management
GM-X products are monitored by certified institutes and manufactured under DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 standards, ensuring high operational safety.

Dimensions and Weights
The document details dimensions and weights for various GM-X components, including pipes, bends, connectors, and flanges.

Accessories and Additional Features
Accessories include seals, pipe clips, drain plugs, and protective socket caps. Special sealing elements are available for vacuum installations.

Conclusion
ACO Marine's GM-X steel pipes provide a reliable solution for marine drainage and fire protection, combining ease of installation with robust safety and corrosion resistance features.
Specifications
The GM-X-VACplus seal is designed for vacuum installations with a standard socket Type A1, featuring a lip collar shape for a tight seal. The flange parts are not hot galvanized, allowing for welding on decks and bulkheads. The product complies with several DIN standards.

Materials and Properties
Drain pipes and fittings are made from welded, cold-drawn precision steel pipe, offering properties such as unbreakability, dimensional stability, heat and frost resistance, acoustic favorability, and non-combustibility. The steel has a tensile strength of 310-410 N/mm² and an elongation at break of at least 28%.

Thermal and Acoustic Behavior
Steel exhibits limited thermal expansion, with a 1.1 mm increase in length per meter when heated by 100°C, negating the need for consideration in hot wastewater installations. Acoustic tests meet DIN 4109 requirements, with additional sound-proofing achievable using plastic insulating supports.

Fire Safety
Steel drain pipes are classified as non-flammable according to DIN 4102 and DIN 1123.

Accessories
Securing clips for axial thrust and pipe suspension are available, with specifications varying by diameter. Securing clamps are also available, with detailed dimensions and weights provided.

Company Information
ACO Marine emphasizes that all recommendations are made without guarantee, as conditions of use are beyond their control. Continuous product development may lead to specification changes without notice. Contact details for ACO Marine in the Czech Republic and Germany are provided.

The GM-X socket is a two-stage design. The seal is retained by the first socket stage. The second stage centres the inserted pipe. The socket shape construction enables a solid, buckle-proof and rigid connection of pipes and mouldings to be made, and thus guarantees great tightness between the pipe and the socket, without the risk of the seal being compressed by its own or an out- side load. The GM-X seal is in the shape of a lip collar. It is inserted into the upper socket chamber. As a result of the other pipe end being pushed in, the sealing lips are forced against the inner wall of the seal...

Corrosion proofing All pipes and fittings are hot galvanized is impact-resistant and shock-proof. The zinc coating produces a cathodic protection of the cut edges thus preventing bottom rust. In addition, the insides of the pipes and fit- tings are given an alkyd-melamine resin based plastic coating. A significant task falls upon the installer, who, in the final analysis, determines the practical value of a drainage installation. The superior quality of our pipe material and the first-class processing of our products help Drainage installations have to be able to be constructed without problems...
