FAQs

What does the 50-year guarantee cover?

The 50-year guarantee from Hep2O typically covers manufacturing defects and product failure under normal use within domestic hot and cold water systems. It's advisable to check the full warranty terms provided by Hep2O for specific details.

Can this hose be used with other push-fit systems?

While designed for the Hep2O system, it is generally recommended to use components from the same system for guaranteed compatibility and performance. Using with other systems may void the guarantee.

Do I need any special tools to install this hose?

No, the Hep2O push-fit system is designed for tool-free installation. You simply push the hose onto the fittings. A pipe cutter is recommended for a clean pipe end, and a pipe stiffener may be needed for plastic pipes.

What is the maximum temperature and pressure this hose can handle?

Hep2O push-fit fittings and hoses are designed for standard domestic hot and cold water applications, typically up to 6 bar pressure and 70°C continuous temperature, with excursions up to 95°C. Always refer to manufacturer specifications for precise ratings.

How do I disconnect the hose if needed?

To disconnect, you will need a Hep2O release tool. Insert the tool into the fitting and push it towards the hose while simultaneously pulling the hose away from the fitting.

Is this hose suitable for mains water connections?

Yes, this Hep2O flexible hose is suitable for mains water connections in domestic plumbing systems when used with compatible Hep2O fittings.

Troubleshooting

Leak at connection point

Ensure pipe ends are clean, smooth, and pushed fully into the fitting. Re-seat the connection or check for debris within the fitting.

Difficulty pushing hose onto fitting

Verify that the pipe end is clean and that you are using a genuine Hep2O fitting. Ensure the pipe is cut square and free of burrs. Use Hep2O pipe stiffeners if required.

Reduced water flow

Check for any kinks or sharp bends in the flexible hose that might be restricting flow. Ensure the tap is fully open and check for blockages at the tap outlet.
