FAQs

What is the material of the adaptor?

The adaptor is made of brass for durability and corrosion resistance.

What size pipe does this adaptor fit?

This adaptor fits 15mm Hep2O pipe and has a 1/2in male BSP thread.

Can I use this with other types of pipe?

No, this adaptor is specifically designed for use with Hep2O plumbing systems.

How do I prevent leaks?

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted, and the fitting is tightened to the correct torque. Always double-check for leaks after installation.

What is BSP?

BSP stands for British Standard Pipe, a standard for threads used in plumbing.

What should I do if the fitting is leaking?

Tighten the fitting or, if the leak persists, replace the fitting.

Is any special tool required for installation?

A pipe cutter is recommended for a clean, square cut on the Hep2O pipe.

How do I know if the fitting is tightened enough?

Follow the manufacturer's torque recommendations for the Hep2O system. Avoid over-tightening.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the connection point.

Check if the pipe is fully inserted into the adaptor. Tighten the fitting further, but avoid over-tightening. If the leak persists, replace the adaptor.

Difficulty connecting the pipe.

Ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and is free from debris. Use a pipe cutter for best results.

The fitting appears loose.

Ensure you are using the correct Hep2O pipe size. Double-check that the fitting is tightened correctly. If the issue continues, replace the fitting.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Compatibility: This adaptor is specifically designed for use with the Hep2O plumbing system. Ensure that all other components, such as pipes and fittings, are Hep2O compatible.
  2. Installation: The installation process is straightforward. Ensure the pipe is cut cleanly and inserted fully into the adaptor. Tighten the fitting to the recommended torque to create a secure, watertight seal.
  3. Care: No specific maintenance is required. Regularly inspect the fitting for leaks, especially after initial installation or any system adjustments. If leaks are detected, tighten the fitting or replace it if necessary.
  4. Sizing Note: Remember that a 1/2 inch BSP thread measures approximately 3/4 inch in diameter. If you measure your thread and it's 1/2 inch, you need the 1/4 inch version.
