Hep 2 O Push-fit plumbing system
Applications Hep2O is suitable for most domestic and commercial plumbing applications: hot and cold water services and heating. In addition to new construction, the extreme flexibility of the Hep2O pipe means it is the ideal solution for renovation, system extensions and situations where space is restricted. This means Hep2O is widely used on mobile homes, portable homes and boats, as well as in traditional residential and commercial plumbing installations. The compatibility of Hep2O fittings with copper ensures a simple, fast and reliable method of jointing to traditional materials on site. Hep2O pipe is also the ideal material for use in conduit ‘pipe-in-pipe’ installations where the combination of pipe flexibility and straight coil technology gives significant advantages for ease of handling compared to other pipe materials. Range
Product specifications
