Product Information

Full details

This Hep2O Flexible Tap Connector is designed for central heating systems and hot and cold water services, offering a reliable and leak-free plumbing solution for both domestic and commercial applications. Its key benefit is the flexible push-fit system with In4Sure joint recognition, ensuring secure and easy installations. A potential consideration is its maximum operating temperature of 65°C, which is suitable for most hot water systems but should be verified for high-temperature applications.

Troubleshooting

Connection appears loose or is leaking

Remove the fitting using the HepKey tool and re-insert the pipe, ensuring it is fully pushed in and the In4Sure indication is visible. Check the pipe for any damage or deformation.

Difficulty pushing the pipe into the fitting

Ensure the end of the pipe is cut square and free from burrs. Use a Hep2O pipe re-rounding tool if necessary. Ensure the fitting is not damaged.
