FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Hep2O system?
The primary benefit is its unique joint recognition system, which provides installers with both tactile and audible confirmation that a secure connection has been made, alongside the ease of secure demounting.
Can Hep2O be used with existing copper or plastic pipes?
Hep2O fittings are designed to connect directly to Hep2O pipe. For connections to other pipe types, specific transition fittings are required, which are available from Wavin.
How do I demount a Hep2O fitting?
To demount a fitting, you need the Hep2O demounting tool. Slide the tool onto the pipe and twist the fitting while pulling it away from the pipe.
What is the expected lifespan of Hep2O products?
Hep2O products come with a 50-year guarantee, reflecting their durability and long-term reliability for plumbing installations.
Are special tools required for installation?
Basic tools like a pipe cutter and a measuring tape are needed. For demounting, the specific Hep2O demounting tool is required. A Hep2O pipe stiffener is also recommended for certain connections.
Can Hep2O be used for central heating systems?
Yes, Hep2O pipe and fittings are suitable for both hot and cold water supply and can be used in central heating systems, provided they are installed according to Wavin's guidelines.
What is the purpose of the pipe clips?
Hep2O pipe clips are used to securely fix the pipe to structural elements, preventing movement and ensuring the integrity of the installation, especially in areas with vibration or where pipes might be subject to stress.
Troubleshooting
Fitting does not seem secure after pushing pipe in.
Ensure the pipe end is cut square and fully inserted to the correct depth mark. Check for any debris inside the fitting. If the issue persists, attempt to demount and re-fit the pipe.
Difficulty demounting a fitting.
Ensure you are using the correct Hep2O demounting tool and that it is properly engaged around the fitting collar. Apply steady, even pressure.
Slow water flow or intermittent pressure.
Check for potential blockages in the system or kinks in the pipework. Ensure all connections are fully secure and that no air locks are present.
Audible 'click' not heard during fitting.
The pipe may not be fully inserted. Remove the pipe and re-insert firmly until the correct depth is achieved and the click is heard.
