Product Information

Full details

The Hep2O Keyless Female Adaptor Socket 15mm x 3/4" - Brass (KLB24-15) is designed for plumbing professionals and DIY enthusiasts seeking faster, easier, and more secure plumbing installations. Its key benefit is the In4Sure joint recognition system, providing audible and tactile confirmation of a secure pipe connection. A potential consideration is that while demounting is keyless, it still requires a specific technique to ensure a secure release without damage.

Troubleshooting

Pipe does not seem to fully insert or seal.

Ensure the pipe end is cut square and the outer edge is not deformed. Remove the pipe and re-insert, ensuring firm, consistent pressure until the In4Sure click is felt and heard.

Difficulty demounting the fitting.

Ensure you are using the correct hand-detachment technique. Slide the demounting clips (sold separately or integrated depending on tool used) fully onto the fitting collar and pull the pipe out while holding the clips in place.

Leak at the 3/4" threaded connection.

Check that the male BSP thread is clean and correctly seated. Reapply PTFE tape or appropriate sealant to the male thread and retighten securely. Ensure the male thread is not damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To connect a 15mm Hep2O pipe, ensure the pipe end is cut square and free from burrs. Simply push the pipe firmly into the 15mm socket of the adaptor until you feel and hear the In4Sure indication of a secure connection. For the 3/4" female thread, use appropriate PTFE tape or sealant on the male BSP thread before screwing it into the corresponding fitting.

Compatibility: This fitting is designed to be compatible with Hep2O push-fit systems and copper pipes. The 3/4" female BSP thread is a standard fitting for many plumbing components like radiator valves and taps.

Care: No special care is required for the Hep2O fittings themselves under normal operating conditions. Ensure the system is flushed according to standard plumbing practices after installation. Regular system maintenance should follow manufacturer guidelines for the overall heating or water distribution system.
