FAQs
What is the purpose of the barrier layer?
The barrier layer prevents the permeation of oxygen, which can cause corrosion in metal components of the heating system.
Can I use Hep2O pipe with other types of fittings?
No, Hep2O pipes are designed to work exclusively with Hep2O fittings to ensure a secure and leak-proof connection.
How do I cut the Hep2O pipe?
Use a pipe cutter designed for plastic pipes to ensure a clean, square cut. Avoid using a hacksaw, as it may leave a rough edge.
How do I know if the fitting is properly connected?
The In4Sure joint recognition provides tactile confirmation when the pipe is fully inserted, ensuring a secure connection.
What is the maximum operating temperature for Hep2O pipe?
Check the product specifications for the specific temperature rating, but generally, Hep2O pipes are suitable for both hot and cold water applications.
