FAQs

What is the primary material of the Hep2O Cold Forming Bend?

The Hep2O Cold Forming Bend is manufactured from polybutylene.

What size pipe does this fitting work with?

This fitting is designed for 22mm Hep2O pipes.

Can I use this fitting with other pipe materials?

No, this fitting is specifically designed for use with Hep2O polybutylene pipe systems.

Do I need any special tools to install this fitting?

You will need a pipe cutter and potentially a pipe insert tool for easier insertion.

Is there a recommended bending radius?

While the bend fixture itself guides the bend, avoid over-bending which could compromise the pipe's integrity. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for bending.

How do I maintain the Hep2O Cold Forming Bend?

No special maintenance is required. Regularly inspect connections for leaks or damage.

What should I do if the fitting leaks?

Check the connection to ensure the pipe is fully inserted. Tighten the connection if possible. If the leak persists, replace the fitting.

Where can I use this fitting?

This fitting is ideal for use in situations where secure fixing and neatness are important, such as under sinks, radiator pipework, and concealed plumbing.

Troubleshooting

Pipe leaks at the bend.

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting. Check the connection and tighten if necessary. Replace the fitting if damaged.

Difficulty bending the pipe.

Ensure you are using the correct bending technique and not exceeding the recommended bend radius. Consider using a pipe bender if needed.

The fitting is difficult to connect.

Ensure the pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Use a Hep2O pipe insert to aid insertion. Check for any damage to the pipe or fitting.
