Full details
This Hep2O Hand-TitanTM tap connector is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working with hot and cold water systems who need a reliable and easy-to-install connection. Its key benefit is the secure, leak-free joint achieved through In4Sure technology and tool-free hand-tightening. A minor consideration is that it's specifically for tap connections and not general pipe joining.

FAQs
What does In4Sure joint recognition mean?
In4Sure is a visual indicator integrated into the fitting that confirms the pipe has been pushed in far enough to create a secure, leak-free connection.
Do I need special tools to install this connector?
No, the Hand-TitanTM connector is designed for hand-tightening, eliminating the need for pipe wrenches or crimping tools for the connection itself.
How do I remove a Hep2O fitting?
You will need a HepKey tool. Push the appropriate size HepKey tool against the collar of the fitting to release the pipe.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Hep2O system, including this tap connector, comes with a 50-year guarantee when installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Can I use this connector with copper pipes?
This connector is designed for use with Hep2O push-fit pipes. For copper pipes, you would need a specific Hep2O adaptor.
Is this connector suitable for underfloor heating systems?
While suitable for hot water, it is primarily designed for tap connections. For specific underfloor heating system requirements, please consult the Hep2O technical documentation or a professional installer.
Troubleshooting
Connection leaks after installation
Ensure the pipe was fully inserted into the fitting and that the pipe end is smooth and undamaged. Re-attempt installation, ensuring a firm hand-tightened connection.
Difficulty inserting pipe
Check that the pipe end is clean, square, and free from burrs. Slightly ream the pipe end if necessary. Ensure you are using a compatible Hep2O pipe.
Cannot demount the fitting
Ensure you are using the correct HepKey tool for demounting and that it is correctly positioned around the fitting collar. Follow the HepKey demounting procedure precisely.
