FAQs

What is In4Sure™ joint recognition?

In4Sure™ is a patented technology in Hep2O fittings that provides an audible click and tactile feedback when the pipe is fully inserted, confirming a secure and reliable connection.

Can I use this elbow with any type of 15mm pipe?

The Hep2O Keyless Elbow is designed for use with 15mm copper pipe and compatible 15mm plastic pipes, including the Hep2O system itself and other standard plastic plumbing pipes.

How do I disconnect a Hep2O fitting?

Hep2O fittings can be demounted by hand without tools. Simply grip the fitting firmly and pull the pipe away. For tighter connections, a slight twist may help. Specialized demounting tools are also available.

What is the guarantee period for Hep2O fittings?

All Hep2O fittings come with a 50-year guarantee against manufacturing defects, providing long-term assurance of quality and durability.

Is this fitting suitable for hot and cold water systems?

Yes, Hep2O fittings are suitable for both hot and cold water applications, including central heating systems, provided they are installed according to manufacturer guidelines.

Where are Hep2O fittings manufactured?

Hep2O fittings are designed, manufactured, and assembled in Doncaster, UK.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

For standard installation, you only need a pipe cutter and potentially a pipe stiffener. The push-fit connection itself does not require soldering irons, crimping tools, or wrenches.

Troubleshooting

Fitting does not seal or leaks

Ensure the pipe is clean, dry, and properly inserted past the In4Sure™ indicator mark. Check for any damage or deformities on the pipe end. Verify that a pipe stiffener is used for plastic pipes if required.

Difficulty inserting the pipe

Ensure the pipe end is cut squarely and is not deformed. Lubricate the pipe end slightly with water or approved silicone lubricant if necessary. Check that no debris is inside the fitting.

Cannot demount the fitting by hand

Ensure you are using the correct demounting tool or technique. For hand demounting, ensure your grip is firm and you are rotating slightly while pulling. If stuck, refer to specific Hep2O demounting instructions for stubborn connections.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly speeds up plumbing installations compared to traditional methods.
  • The In4Sure system eliminates guesswork regarding connection security.
  • Hand-removable fittings simplify modifications and reduce the risk of damage.
  • The 50-year guarantee provides exceptional long-term value and confidence.

  • WRAS approval ensures compliance with UK water regulations.

Cons

  • Requires a clean pipe end for optimal sealing.
  • Initial cost might be higher than some traditional fittings.
  • Requires sufficient working space for hand demounting.
  • Push-fit systems may not be suitable for all high-pressure or specific industrial applications without professional consultation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the pipe end is clean, dry, and free from burrs or damage. Use a pipe cutter for a square cut.
  2. If using copper pipe, ensure it is deburred and the outside diameter is correct.
  3. For plastic pipes, ensure they are clean and round. Use an appropriate pipe stiffener if recommended for the specific pipe type.
  4. Push the pipe firmly into the Hep2O fitting until it is fully inserted. You will feel and hear the In4Sure™ system engage.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with 15mm copper pipe.
  • Compatible with 15mm plastic pipe (e.g., Hep2O push-fit pipes, PEX, PB).
  • Designed for use within the Hep2O system.

Care:

  • Hep2O fittings are designed for a maintenance-free life.
  • Avoid exposing fittings to excessive heat, direct sunlight, or corrosive chemicals.
  • Regularly inspect visible pipework for any signs of damage or leaks, although the fittings themselves are robust.
