FAQs

What is the HepKey used for?

The HepKey is used to safely demount the Hep2O fittings without damaging the pipe or fitting.

Can I use Hep2O fittings with different pipe materials?

Yes, Hep2O fittings are compatible with both plastic and copper pipes.

What is the recommended temperature range for Hep2O?

Hep2O is suitable for both hot and cold water applications. Check the specific product specifications for exact temperature limits.

How do I ensure a leak-free connection?

Make sure the pipe is cut squarely, inserted fully into the fitting until it meets the internal stop, and that you have a good seal. Always use the HepKey for removal.

What happens if a fitting is damaged?

The fitting should be replaced immediately to prevent leaks. Always have spare fittings on hand for such situations.

Can I reuse Hep2O fittings?

Hep2O fittings can be reused if demounted correctly with the HepKey and inspected for any damage. However, it's generally best practice to use new fittings for the most reliable performance.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks after installation

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting. Check the pipe end for a clean cut and remove any burrs. If the issue persists, replace the fitting.

Difficulty demounting the fitting

Use the HepKey tool to release the fitting. Make sure the HepKey is properly engaged and positioned before attempting to remove the pipe.

Pipe won't fully insert into the fitting

Check the pipe end for damage or obstructions. Ensure the fitting is clean and free of debris.
