Product Information

Full details

The Hep2O Keyless 90deg Elbow (KL5-15) is an essential component for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working on domestic water distribution and central heating systems. Its primary benefit is the In4Sure joint recognition technology, which provides unmistakable physical feedback to confirm a secure, leak-free connection without specialized equipment. While the fitting is highly efficient, users should note that it is specifically designed for 15mm piping and requires correct pipe preparation to ensure the internal seals perform as intended.

FAQs

Can I use this with plastic pipe?

Yes, this fitting is fully compatible with Hep2O plastic pipe systems and standard copper pipe.

Is this suitable for gas lines?

No, this product is specifically designed for domestic water distribution and central heating systems only; never use on gas lines.

Does the 50-year guarantee cover DIY installations?

The guarantee applies to the quality of the product provided it is installed according to the manufacturer's official instructions.

Do I need to lubricate the pipe before insertion?

It is generally not necessary, but if the pipe is dry, a light wipe with water can help reduce friction.

How do I know if it's the right size?

The KL5-15 model is designed exclusively for 15mm external diameter piping.

Troubleshooting

Pipe will not insert fully into the fitting

Check the pipe end for burrs or deformation and ensure it has been cut perfectly square.

Joint is leaking after installation

Remove the pipe, inspect the internal O-ring for damage or debris, and re-insert ensuring a clean, straight entry.

Difficulty in demounting the fitting

Ensure the release collar is fully depressed or rotated as per the specific design instructions to disengage the grab ring.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides immediate, verifiable confirmation of a secure joint
  • Allows for rapid installation and easy system reconfiguration
  • No requirement for specialized crimping or soldering tools
  • Exceptional 50-year guarantee provides long-term peace of mind
  • Suitable for high-pressure central heating and domestic water lines

Cons

  • Specific to 15mm pipe diameters only
  • Requires proper pipe end deburring to prevent seal damage
  • Costs more upfront than traditional copper solder fittings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a lifetime of trouble-free service, proper setup is critical. Always use a pipe cutter to achieve a perfectly square end; a jagged or angled cut can compromise the internal O-ring seal. If using copper pipe, ensure the surface is clean and free of deep scratches. While the fitting is designed to be demountable, avoid exposing the plastic to harsh chemical solvents or extreme external heat sources. During installation, ensure the pipe is inserted fully until you hear the confirmation click. When performing maintenance on existing systems, inspect the fitting for signs of debris or damage before reusing, and always keep a small supply of spare Hep2O components for quick replacements.
