The Wavin Hep2O Push Fit system is suitable for most domestic and commercial plumbing and heating applications. It is packed with unique features that make push-fit plumbing easier, quicker and more secure for installers.
The system is available in metric (15, 22 and 28mm) and imperial (1/2”, 3/4” and 1”) sizes and is designed to provide the highest possible flow rates. The metric and imperial systems are colour coded for ease of identification.
The fittings are also distinguishable by their internal sleeve collar colours, metric in white and imperial in grey. Both the metric and imperial systems have the same ‘lay flat’ pipe technology. The pipe is supplied in straight lengths and coils.
Flexible, compatible and secure
The extreme flexibility of the Wavin Hep2O pipe means it is the ideal solution for cabling through joists and underneath floors in new construction, renovation, system extensions and situations where space is restricted.
The compatibility of Hep2O fittings with copper ensures a simple, fast and reliable method of jointing to traditional materials on site.
It provides a secure fitting every time with the Wavin’s In4Sure security feature, which tells the installer when the pipe is in – feel the rumble.
One of the unique advantages of Hep2O is it can be easily demounted and adjusted by the installer with the HepKey but, once fitted, the joint is safe and secure and cannot be tampered with or accidentally demounted.
A unique characteristic of Wavin Push-fit Hep2O pipe coil is its remarkable ability to remain straight once uncoiled, unlike some other plastic materials which act like a spring and make handling difficult.
Wavin Push-fit Hep2O pipe is therefore much easier to handle and to cable because of its inherent tendency to stay where it’s put. Due to the superior flexibility and long length coils, less fittings are required – which can make for quicker installations.
This unique characteristic is a result of the material used, which is Polybutylene (PB).
PB has very different properties to material used in other products on the market which is Cross-linked Polyethylene (PEX).
PEX pipe is relatively stiff and when taken from the coil retains a ‘spring’ like quality, which can make it difficult to work with, particularly on long runs and when cabling through joists or floors.
