FAQs
What is the main advantage of a demountable stop-end?
The main advantage is the ability to easily disconnect and re-use the fitting and pipe, which is very useful for system modifications, repairs, or during the initial installation process.
Do I need special tools to install this fitting?
No, installation is push-fit and does not require special tools beyond a pipe cutter and deburring tool. However, a HepKey tool is required for demounting.
What is the guarantee period for Hep2O fittings?
Hep2O fittings come with a 50-year industry-leading guarantee.
Can I use this fitting with standard copper pipe?
Yes, Hep2O fittings are designed to work with both Hep2O plastic pipe and standard copper pipe, provided the copper pipe is properly prepared (deburred and clean).
What does WRAS approved mean?
WRAS approval signifies that the product has been tested and meets the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme standards, ensuring it is safe for use with drinking water in the UK.
How do I ensure a secure joint?
Push the pipe firmly into the fitting until it reaches the internal stop. The In4Sure joint recognition system is designed to indicate when a secure joint has been made.
What is the SmartSleeve?
The SmartSleeve is an integral part of the Hep2O fitting that ensures a secure grip on the pipe and stays captive in the pipe when demounted, simplifying re-installation.
Troubleshooting
Fitting does not push fully onto the pipe.
Ensure the pipe end is square, clean, and free from obstructions or damage. Check for any debris inside the fitting.
Leak detected at the joint.
Demount the fitting using the HepKey and re-install, ensuring the pipe is pushed in fully and the seal is correctly seated. Verify pipe condition.
Difficulty demounting the fitting.
Ensure you are using the correct HepKey tool for the fitting size. Insert the key fully and apply steady pressure to release the SmartSleeve.
Pipe does not go straight from the coil.
Allow the Hep2O pipe to straighten naturally or use a pipe straightening tool. Avoid kinking the pipe.
