Product Information

Full details

The Hep2O Keyless Branch Reduced Tee is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts seeking a reliable solution for domestic water distribution and central heating systems. Its primary benefit is the In4Sure joint recognition technology, which ensures a secure connection through tactile feedback, significantly reducing the risk of installation errors. While it excels in ease of use and compatibility with copper and plastic piping, users should note that it requires precise pipe preparation—specifically clean, burr-free ends—to maintain its long-term integrity.

FAQs

Can I reuse the Hep2O fitting?

Yes, the keyless design allows the fitting to be demounted and reused multiple times, provided the O-ring and grab-ring are in good condition.

Is this fitting suitable for gas installations?

No, Hep2O fittings are strictly for water distribution and central heating systems only. They must not be used for gas.

Do I need to use inserts with this fitting?

Yes, when using Hep2O plastic pipe, a support sleeve (insert) must always be used to maintain pipe roundness.

What is the maximum operating pressure?

Please refer to the technical data sheet for your specific system, but generally, Hep2O is rated for standard domestic hot and cold water pressures.

Does this fitting need to be lubricated?

No, do not use any oils, greases, or jointing compounds on the fitting or pipe, as these can cause damage to the internal components.

Troubleshooting

Pipe cannot be inserted into the fitting

Ensure the pipe end is free from burrs and that the pipe is not deformed. Check that the collet is in the open position.

Connection is leaking after installation

Verify the pipe is inserted deep enough to move past the O-ring seal. Remove and check that the O-ring is not damaged or dirty.

Difficult to demount the fitting

Ensure you are pushing the collet evenly into the fitting body before attempting to withdraw the pipe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free installation and removal
  • Positive confirmation of connection via In4Sure technology
  • Compatible with both plastic and copper piping
  • Industry-leading 50-year manufacturer guarantee
  • WRAS approved for potable water safety

Cons

  • Requires perfectly clean and de-burred pipe ends
  • Not suitable for use with stainless steel pipe
  • Requires slightly more physical space for installation compared to soldered fittings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the pipe is cut squarely and all burrs are removed from the end of the pipe. Push the pipe into the fitting until you feel the In4Sure resistance and hear the audible confirmation; this indicates the pipe has passed through the O-ring and is fully seated. For care and maintenance, avoid using jointing compounds, as these can degrade the rubber seals. If you need to demount the fitting, simply push the collet towards the body of the fitting while pulling the pipe out. Always perform a pressure test after installation before insulating or enclosing the pipes.
