The Hep 15mm Compression Tee is an ideal plumbing component for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers who need reliable, heat-free connections for water, air, or oil systems. It provides a secure, leak-resistant joint without the need for solder, though it requires careful tightening to ensure a perfect seal without over-compressing the pipe or olive.

Yes, this fitting is designed to be compatible with both standard copper and plastic piping systems.
No, you only need two adjustable spanners or a wrench set to tighten the compression nuts.
This specific fitting is intended for water, air, and oil systems; always verify local building codes regarding gas-specific fittings.
The brass body can be reused, but it is highly recommended to replace the olive whenever the joint is disconnected.
A pipe stiffener is mandatory when using plastic pipe to maintain the circular integrity of the tube under compression.
The Hep 15mm Compression Tee is WRAS and BS approved.
Ensure the pipe is pushed fully home into the fitting and check that the olive is not distorted. Tighten the nut slightly more, but do not exceed two full turns past hand-tight.
Verify that you are using a pipe stiffener if the pipe is plastic, and confirm the pipe diameter is exactly 15mm.
To install, ensure the pipe ends are cut squarely and deburred to prevent damage to the internal olive. Slide the nut and olive onto the pipe, insert the pipe into the fitting body, and hand-tighten the nut. Use a spanner to tighten it further, typically by three-quarters to one full turn. When using plastic pipe, always insert a rigid pipe stiffener into the end of the tube to prevent the pipe from collapsing under the compression force. For care, avoid using excessive pipe joint compound, and if the fitting is removed for maintenance, replace the olive to ensure a fresh, leak-proof seal upon re-installation.
