Product Information

Full details

The Hep2O Female Adaptor Socket is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts seeking faster, easier, and more secure plumbing installations. Its key benefit is the In4Sure joint recognition system, which audibly and tactilely confirms a full pipe insertion, reducing installation errors. A potential caveat is the need for specific Hep2O pipes for optimal performance and demounting capabilities. This fitting offers keyless demounting, a 50-year guarantee, and WRAS approval, making it a reliable choice for domestic water distribution and central heating systems.

FAQs

What is In4Sure joint recognition?

In4Sure is a patented technology within Hep2O fittings that provides a tactile and audible confirmation when the pipe is fully and correctly inserted, ensuring a secure and reliable connection.

Do I need special tools to remove Hep2O fittings?

No, Hep2O fittings are designed for secure hand demounting. You can push the fitting towards the pipe and then twist and pull to release it. A Hep2O demounting tool is available for added leverage if needed.

Can I use Hep2O fittings with copper pipes?

Yes, Hep2O fittings are compatible with 22mm copper pipes. However, the keyless demounting feature works best with Hep2O pipes. Always ensure the copper pipe is clean, cut square, and free from damage.

What is the guarantee period for Hep2O fittings?

All Hep2O fittings come with a 50-year guarantee from the date of purchase, offering long-term assurance of quality and durability.

Are Hep2O fittings safe for drinking water?

Yes, Hep2O fittings are WRAS approved, meaning they meet the stringent standards set by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme for use in potable (drinking) water supply systems.

What types of systems can this fitting be used in?

This Hep2O fitting is suitable for domestic water distribution (hot and cold) and central heating systems.

What does 'Female Adaptor Socket' mean in this context?

It means the fitting has a socket to accept a pipe (the 22mm end) and a female (internal) 3/4" thread to connect to a male threaded component.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks after installation

Ensure the pipe was fully inserted until the In4Sure confirmation was felt/heard. Check for any debris or damage on the pipe end or inside the fitting. If the pipe was cut, ensure the cut was square and deburred.

Difficulty pushing pipe into the fitting

Verify the pipe is the correct size (22mm) and is not damaged or deformed. Ensure the pipe end is clean, cut square, and free from burrs. Lubricating the pipe end with a small amount of water can sometimes help.

Unable to demount the fitting

Ensure you are using genuine Hep2O pipes and fittings. Grip the fitting firmly and push it towards the pipe while simultaneously trying to twist and pull the fitting off the pipe. A Hep2O demounting tool can be used if hand demounting is proving difficult, though it is designed for hand use.

In4Sure confirmation not felt or heard

Double-check that the pipe is being pushed in with sufficient force. Ensure no obstructions are preventing full insertion. Inspect the fitting for any manufacturing defects. If the pipe is not fully inserted, the seal may not be complete, leading to potential leaks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly speeds up installation time.
  • In4Sure system reduces the risk of improper connections.
  • Tool-free demounting simplifies adjustments and repairs.
  • Long 50-year guarantee provides excellent peace of mind.
  • WRAS approval ensures suitability for potable water.
  • Robust brass construction for durability.

Cons

  • Requires Hep2O system pipes for full functionality (especially demounting).
  • Initial cost may be higher than traditional compression fittings.
  • Tool-free demounting might be less secure in extremely high-vibration environments compared to mechanical fittings.
  • Relies on user feedback (feel/sound) for confirmation, which could be missed in noisy environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the end of the 22mm pipe is cut square and clean.
  2. Remove any burrs from the inside and outside of the pipe end.
  3. Push the pipe firmly into the 22mm socket of the Hep2O fitting until it reaches the stop.
  4. You should feel and hear the In4Sure confirmation that the pipe is fully inserted.
  5. For the 3/4" female connection, screw a compatible 3/4" male threaded component into the adaptor by hand, tightening appropriately.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with Hep2O push-fit pipes (22mm).
  • Suitable for use with standard copper pipes (22mm), though demounting functionality may vary.
  • The 3/4" female thread is compatible with standard 3/4" BSP male threaded fittings.
  • Suitable for domestic hot and cold water distribution and central heating systems.

Care:

  • No maintenance is required for the fitting itself under normal operating conditions.
  • Periodically check the overall plumbing system for leaks.
  • Keep the fitting area clean and free from debris.
