Full details
The Hep2O Keyless Flexi Tap Connector (KL225H-22) is an essential plumbing component designed for professional installers and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, flexible solution for connecting taps to 22mm supply lines. Its primary benefit is the patented keyless demounting technology, which allows for effortless adjustments without needing specialized tools; however, users must ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the 'In4Sure' joint recognition is verified to prevent leaks in high-pressure systems.

Troubleshooting
Pipe feels loose after insertion

Joint is leaking during pressure test
Ensure the pipe is pushed past the O-ring to the internal stop. Check that the pipe surface is not scratched or scored, as this prevents a proper seal.
