Wavin Hep2O push-fit in metric and imperial

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. In fact it is the only push-fit system with In4Sure joint recognition, secure demounting and a 50-year guarantee.

The system is available in metric (15mm, 22mm and 28mm) and imperial (1/2”, ¾” 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 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, while the pipe is supplied in straight lengths and coils.

Flexible, compatible and secure

For installers, the extreme flexibility of the Wavin Hep2O pipe means it is the ideal solution for cabling through joists, 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 In4Sure security feature that tells the installer when the pipe is in – “feel the rumble”. One of the unique advantages of Hep2O is that it can be easily demounted and adjusted by the installer with the HepKey but, once fitted to the joint, is safe and secure and cannot be tampered with or accidentally demounted.

A unique characteristic of Wavin Hep2O push-fit pipe coil is its ability to remain straight once uncoiled, unlike some other plastic materials which act like a spring and make handling difficult. Wavin Hep2O push-fit pipe is therefore much easier to handle and to cable because of its inherent tendency to stay where it is put. Due to the superior flexibility and long-length coils, less fittings are required. This makes for quicker installation.

This unique characteristic is the result of the material used, which is polybutylene (PB). PB has very different properties to the 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 that can make it difficult to work with, particularly on long runs and when cabling through joists or floors.

Forefront of push-fit technology

For the last 40 years Wavin Hep2O push-fit has been at the forefront of push-fit plumbing technology. The industry-leading products are engineered with unique performance and installation innovations.

The Wavin Hep2O push-fit meets the requirements of Class S of BS 7291, Parts 1 and 2, and is manufactured within a quality management system that satisfies EN ISO 9002. It is also approved by WRAS – deemed safe for use in the supply of drinking water. The range is also supported by a BIM revit package for accurate system design which is available to download from the Wavin website.
