In the marine industry, where safety, efficiency, and reliability are top priorities, RM Press and Drainage Fittings from Raccorderie Metalliche (RM) are making a significant impact. In a recent interview, Paul Switzer, Director of Marine at World Wide Metric, shared insights on how RM’s press-fitting technology is revolutionizing shipbuilding and maintenance by offering a flame-free, time-saving alternative to traditional welding and threading. With superior corrosion resistance, secure leak-free connections, and compliance with major industry certifications, RM’s solutions are gaining widespread adoption across commercial shipping, offshore oil and gas, military, and luxury yacht markets.
One of the key advantages of RM Press Fittings is their ability to streamline installation and reduce downtime, making them an ideal choice for time-sensitive retrofits and new builds. The elimination of hot work improves safety while the press-fit system ensures consistent, high-quality connections across a variety of applications, including heating, cooling, fire protection, and compressed air systems. RM Drainage Fittings, designed for both gravity and vacuum drainage, further enhance onboard efficiency with their lightweight yet durable construction, offering a fire-rated, corrosion-resistant solution for wastewater management.
Beyond supplying RM products, World Wide Metric actively engages in technical training, product demonstrations, and industry events to help customers integrate these solutions into their operations. As part of this effort, the company is hosting an exclusive trip to Italy in April 2025, where select industry professionals will experience RM’s innovation firsthand at their manufacturing facility.
