Product Information

Full details

The Hep2O Keyless Branch Reduced Tee (22 x 22 x 15mm) is an essential plumbing component for professional contractors and dedicated DIY enthusiasts looking to create secure, branch connections in domestic hot and cold water or central heating systems. Its primary benefit is the In4Sure joint recognition technology, which provides tactile and audible feedback to confirm a solid connection, significantly reducing the risk of installation errors. While this fitting offers exceptional convenience and reliability, it is important to note that it is designed specifically for compatible plumbing pipe standards, so verify your pipe material and outside diameter before installation to ensure a leak-free seal.

FAQs

Can I use this fitting on central heating pipes?

Yes, the Hep2O KL13-22 is fully suitable for both domestic hot and cold water and central heating systems.

Is it okay to use this with existing copper pipework?

Yes, this fitting is compatible with standard copper pipe, provided it is clean and free of deep scratches or burrs.

Do I need a special tool to remove the pipe?

No, the keyless design allows for simple, hand-operated demounting without any additional tools.

Can the fitting be reused?

Yes, because the fitting is demountable, it can be reused in other areas of the system, provided the seals and internal components remain in good condition.

What is the primary benefit of In4Sure technology?

It provides a tactile and audible 'click' when the pipe is correctly inserted, giving the installer absolute confidence that the joint is secure.

Is this product suitable for potable water?

Yes, it is WRAS-approved, meaning it meets all safety requirements for use with drinking water.

Troubleshooting

Pipe will not insert into the fitting

Ensure the pipe end is not deformed or burred. Check that the grab ring is not obstructed by debris.

The joint feels loose after insertion

Ensure you have pushed the pipe past the initial O-ring resistance until you feel the joint 'click' or fully seat.

Difficulty in demounting the pipe

Ensure the collet (the ring at the opening) is pushed completely into the fitting body before attempting to pull the pipe out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a lifetime of service, follow these best practices for installation and care:

  1. Pipe Preparation: Always cut the pipe squarely and use a deburring tool to remove sharp edges that could damage the internal seals.
  2. Marking: Measure the insertion depth required and mark the pipe to visually confirm it reaches the internal stop.
  3. Insertion: Push the pipe firmly into the fitting until the In4Sure tactile feedback is felt.
  4. Compatibility: Verify that you are using 22mm or 15mm pipe as specified. While compatible with copper, always ensure the copper is not work-hardened or heavily pitted.
  5. Demounting: To remove, push the grab ring collar inward toward the fitting body and pull the pipe out manually.
  6. Maintenance: Periodically check for any signs of dampness around joints, though these fittings are designed to remain maintenance-free for the duration of the system's life.
