Product Information

Full details

The Hep2O Keyless Flexi Tap Connector (KL125B-22) is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, tool-free connection for 22mm plumbing systems. Its primary benefit is the patented 'In4sure' technology that provides tactile feedback to ensure the pipe is correctly inserted, minimizing the risk of leaks in domestic water or heating systems. However, users should note that while it is highly versatile, it is specifically optimized for use with copper and Hep2O polybutylene pipe systems, and proper pipe preparation is required for a secure seal.

FAQs

Can this connector be used on central heating pipes?

Yes, the Hep2O system is suitable for domestic hot and cold water distribution as well as central heating systems.

Do I need a special tool to remove it?

No, the keyless design allows for manual demounting by simply pressing the collet inward.

Is a support sleeve required for copper pipe?

No, support sleeves are only required when using plastic pipe systems.

What is the maximum temperature rating?

The fitting is designed for standard domestic water temperatures; please refer to the technical datasheet for specific pressure and temperature thresholds.

Can this be reused?

Yes, the fitting is designed to be demountable and reusable, provided the internal O-ring remains undamaged.

Troubleshooting

Pipe will not insert into the fitting

Check that the pipe is cut square and that there are no burrs at the end of the pipe. Ensure the pipe diameter matches the 22mm rating.

Fitting is leaking after installation

Verify that the pipe is fully inserted past the O-ring seal. If using plastic pipe, confirm that a support sleeve was used inside the pipe end.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free installation and removal
  • Provides immediate confirmation of a secure seal
  • High flexibility for confined plumbing spaces
  • Compatible with both copper and plastic pipes
  • WRAS approved for peace of mind

Cons

  • Requires clean pipe ends for a proper seal
  • Not intended for non-plumbing applications
  • Must be used with an appropriate pipe insert when using plastic pipe

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a long-lasting seal, follow these steps during installation:

  1. Cut the pipe squarely, ensuring there are no jagged edges or deep scratches.
  2. If using plastic pipe, always insert a Hep2O support sleeve to maintain pipe integrity.
  3. Push the pipe into the fitting; the internal grab ring will secure it once the 'In4sure' resistance is felt.
  4. For removal, push the collet against the body of the fitting to release the grip, then withdraw the pipe.

Keep the fitting clear of aggressive chemicals or harsh cleaning agents. Periodically inspect the braided outer layer for signs of corrosion if installed in high-humidity environments.
