FAQs
What pipe sizes is this repair coupler compatible with?
This repair coupler is specifically designed for 16x2mm pipe sizes, including multilayer Pert-Al-Pex-Al, PEX, Evoh, Pert, and CPVC pipes.

No, the Warmer Repair Coupling is designed for straightforward installation and does not require special tools beyond those typically used for plumbing tasks.
How does the coupler ensure a watertight seal?
The coupler features an olive and a double O-ring rubber seal that compress around the pipe when the nut is tightened, creating a secure and watertight connection.
Can this coupler be used for hot water pipes as well as heating?
While primarily engineered for underfloor heating systems, its durable construction and watertight seal make it suitable for other low-pressure hydronic systems using compatible pipe types. Always ensure the application matches the product's intended use and specifications.
What is the material of the repair coupler?
The repair coupler is constructed from nickel-plated brass, providing durability and resistance to corrosion.
What steps should I take before installing the coupler?
Before installation, you must shut off the water supply to the heating system and drain the system to remove residual water.
Troubleshooting
Coupler is leaking after installation
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting and the nut is securely tightened. Verify that the correct pipe size (16x2mm) and type are being used. Check that the olive and O-rings are correctly seated.
Difficulty fitting the pipe into the coupler
Ensure the pipe ends are cut cleanly and squarely. Make sure there are no burrs or obstructions inside the pipe or on the fitting. Verify you are using the correct 16x2mm pipe size.
System pressure drops after repair
Re-check all connections for secure tightening and ensure no other leaks have developed. Ensure the heating system has been properly refilled and bled of air.
