Product Information

Full details

The Hep2O Keyless Flexi Tap Connector (KL225A-15) is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, flexible solution for connecting taps to domestic water and central heating systems. Its primary benefit is the patented In4sure joint recognition technology that provides tactile and visual confirmation of a secure fit, though users should ensure they are comfortable working with 15mm pipework before installation. This connector combines a high-quality flexible hose with a 1/2-inch fitting, offering a durable, WRAS-approved solution that simplifies tap installation without the need for specialized tools.

What is the maximum length of this connector?

Can it be used on central heating pipes?

What does In4sure technology mean?

It is a patented feature that gives the user a physical 'feel' when the pipe is successfully locked into the connector.

Troubleshooting

Joint does not feel secure upon insertion

Remove the pipe, ensure it is cut perfectly square, and check for scratches or debris on the surface before re-inserting.

Difficult to demount the fitting

Ensure the pipe is pushed slightly further into the fitting to relieve pressure on the internal grabbing teeth before activating the release mechanism.

Minor drip at the connection point

Verify that the pipe is fully inserted past the O-ring seal; if it continues, inspect the pipe for surface imperfections that might compromise the seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free installation and removal
  • Instant confirmation of secure joints

  • Suitable for both central heating and water systems
  • Fully WRAS approved for safety

Cons

  • Limited to 15mm pipe connections

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the 15mm pipe end is cut square and is free of burrs or surface damage. The connector is compatible with copper, PEX, and polybutylene piping. When maintenance is required, the push-fit mechanism allows for rapid demounting by hand. Always avoid using excessive force or abrasive tools that could damage the internal O-rings. Ensure the connector is stored away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals when not in use to maintain the integrity of the flexible hose material.
