Product Information

Full details

The Hep2O G5 Flexi Tap Elbow is an ideal plumbing solution for DIYers and professional installers seeking a reliable, leak-proof connection for domestic water and central heating systems. Its primary advantage is the patented In4sure technology, which provides tactile confirmation that a pipe is securely connected, significantly reducing the risk of installation errors. While this flexible connector offers excellent versatility for tight spaces, users should note it is specifically designed for 15mm pipework and 1/2-inch tap inlets, limiting its use in systems requiring larger diameters.

FAQs

Can I use this with copper pipe?

Yes, the Hep2O G5 system is fully compatible with standard 15mm copper piping.

Do I need a special tool to remove the pipe?

No, the design is keyless, meaning you can demount it by hand.

Is this safe for drinking water?

Yes, the fitting is WRAS approved, confirming it meets the necessary standards for potable water.

What is the maximum length of this fitting?

This specific model is 300mm in length.

What is In4sure technology?

It is a patented feature that provides tactile feedback so the installer can feel that the pipe is securely locked into place.

Can this be used on a heating system?

Yes, it is suitable for use in domestic central heating circuits.

Troubleshooting

Pipe feels loose after insertion

Remove the pipe and inspect the end for burrs or damage. Re-cut the pipe squarely and try inserting it again until the In4sure mechanism clicks.

Slow drip at the joint

Ensure the pipe is fully pushed past the O-ring seal. Check that no debris or pipe lubricant is preventing a clean seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free installation and removal process
  • Tactile connection confirmation prevents leaks
  • High flexibility for difficult pipe alignments
  • Compatible with both copper and plastic pipes
  • WRAS approved for potable water safety

Cons

  • Limited to 15mm pipe and 1/2-inch tap sizes
  • Fixed 300mm length may be too long for some applications
  • Requires proper pipe preparation to ensure the O-ring seals effectively

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a lifetime of leak-free service, follow these best practices:

  1. Pipe Preparation: Ensure your 15mm pipe is cut cleanly and the end is free of burrs or scratches. Any damage to the pipe surface can compromise the internal O-ring seal.
  2. Insertion: Push the pipe firmly into the fitting until you feel the In4sure mechanism engage. You should feel a slight resistance followed by a definitive seat.
  3. Demounting: Should you need to move the fitting, simply depress the collet ring to release the internal gripper, allowing the pipe to be withdrawn without force.
  4. Compatibility: This fitting is designed for use with standard domestic water distribution and heating circuits; always verify that your system pressure is within the manufacturer's specified limits.
  5. Maintenance: Periodically check all plumbing joints for signs of moisture, though the robust design of the G5 series generally requires no ongoing intervention.
