Product Information

Full details

The Hep2O Keyless Straight Tap Connector is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, tool-free solution for domestic water distribution and central heating systems. Its primary benefit is the In4sure joint recognition system, which provides tactile and visual confirmation of a secure connection, significantly reducing installation time and errors. A potential caveat for users is that, while highly versatile, it is specifically optimized for use with Hep2O pipework and copper, meaning compatibility should be verified if mixing with other non-standard pipe materials.

FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for central heating?

Yes, it is designed for both domestic water distribution and central heating systems.

Can I reuse this fitting after removing it?

Yes, the Hep2O keyless design is fully reusable provided the O-ring remains in good condition.

Do I need to use PTFE tape with this connector?

No, the integral O-ring creates a watertight seal without the need for traditional jointing compounds or tapes.

Can I use this with stainless steel pipe?

This fitting is designed for copper and Hep2O plastic pipe; we do not recommend using it with stainless steel.

What is the In4sure system?

It is a patented feature that provides tactile feedback, confirming the pipe is fully inserted and the joint is secure.

Troubleshooting

Pipe will not insert fully into the fitting

Check the pipe end for burrs or deformation; ensure it is cut perfectly square.

Connection feels loose after installation

Remove the pipe, inspect the O-ring for debris, and re-insert ensuring you push past the internal grab ring.

Need to remove the fitting

Use the manual demounting feature to release the grab ring; do not use pliers to force the fitting off.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No specialized tools required for installation
  • In4sure technology prevents 'dry joint' errors
  • Easy to demount and reuse if layout changes
  • High-quality construction with WRAS certification
  • Fully compatible with standard copper pipe

Cons

  • Optimized primarily for the Hep2O ecosystem
  • Not intended for use with high-pressure gas lines
  • Requires careful alignment during initial insertion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, follow these steps:

  1. Pipe Preparation: Ensure the pipe end is cut square and is free of burrs, dirt, or debris.
  2. Insertion: Push the pipe firmly into the connector until you feel it bypass the internal grab ring and seat against the stop.
  3. Validation: Gently pull back on the pipe; the In4sure mechanism should hold it firmly in place, confirming a successful seal.
  4. Compatibility: This fitting works with 15mm copper pipe and Hep2O barrier pipe. Always ensure the pipe surface is clean and undamaged.
  5. Care: Avoid using abrasive chemicals or solvent-based lubricants on the fittings. If cleaning is necessary, use only a damp cloth with mild soap.
