FAQs
What is In4Sure joint recognition?

No, Hep2O barrier pipe is designed to work exclusively with Hep2O push-fit fittings to ensure a secure and guaranteed connection.
What is the guarantee period for Hep2O pipe?

Is this pipe suitable for underfloor heating?

How do I identify the pipe size?
Pipe sizes are colour-coded on the packaging: green for 10mm, blue for 15mm, purple for 22mm, and orange for 28mm.
Can this pipe be used for compressed air?

Troubleshooting
Connection does not feel secure
Ensure the pipe end is cut square and fully inserted into the fitting until it stops. Check for any debris in the fitting. Re-attempt the connection.
Difficulty demounting a joint
Ensure the HepKey tool is fully inserted into the release mechanism of the fitting. Apply steady pressure while pulling the pipe.
Pipe is stiff and difficult to bend
Allow the pipe to warm up to room temperature if it has been stored in a cold environment. Gentle bending is recommended; avoid kinking the pipe.
