Hep Pipe 15mm

Hep20 is a revolutionary plumbing system made primarily from polybutylene particles, perfect for both hot and cold water applications in domestic and non-domestic settings. Key parts of the system include fittings, valves, connectors, and drill bits alongside specialised Polybutylene Barrier Pipe. The Hep₂0 system makes fitting efficient and easy – all you have to do is find the size of the pipe at the end of the fitting and you’re good to go. 

Barrier Pipe Coil 

Barrier pipe presents an efficient solution to protecting water supplies from any contaminants or damages that could be caused in the soil. Hep2O manufactures their barrier pipes from ductile iron, plastic-coated copper, and multi-layer plastics with a metal layer for long term strength and protection. A polyethylene core is surrounded by the inner protective metal barrier, then covered with another layer of polyethylene for ultimate protection. These often have black and brown stripes along the outer layer of plastic that designates it as a barrier pipe. These can be used not only for water supply, but they are also suitable for heating and hot and cold water plumbing systems too when used with the hep2o fittings. The barrier pipe length is dictated by both physical limits determined by the manufacturer's specifications along with environmental requirements.

What is hep pipe?

Hep2O pipe offers a unique solution to those looking for a reliable and straight pipe solution. Unlike other plastic materials which can act like springs, hep2O pipe coil is remarkably able to stay in place when it has been uncoiled, making handling easier with fewer people required to complete often-complex tasks. This makes hep2O an ideal choice for heating and plumbing installations, as the ease of maneuverability reduces the amount of time needed to lay down basic piping necessities such as barrier pipe lengths and joints. Hep2O provides customers with a reliable material that has a tendency to stay where it’s put, leaving them with quality results each and every time.

Can you use 15mm plastic pipe for central heating?

hep2o 15mm white plastic pipe fittings are a great and cost efficient alternative to traditional cooper pipes for both residential and commercial heating systems. Installations are relatively straightforward compared to the difficulties associated with fitting cooper pipes, as hep2o pipes can easily be cut to size, making them very versatile for various types of projects. Moreover, hep2o does not require any soldering or flames during installation, which greatly reduces the cost of labour expenses. Not only does hep2o result in a reduced cost, but it also provides equally effective results in the underfloor area of your property. The flexibility hep2o offers allows for more variety and greater efficiency than those associated with cooper pipes when facing tight spaces or tight angles. Overall hep2o a great choice when considering your next residential or commercial heating system project.

Plastic pipe have proven to provide great durability and effectiveness. For central heating solutions, their lifespan can typically last up to 25 years if they are properly maintained. While the rubber seals may have a tendency to degrade over time, 25 years is still an impressive period of use. Additionally, plastic pipes are available in a variety of sizes including 15mm and come in either white or grey with other necessary fittings such as barrier pipe coil 15mm for commercial operations. Therefore, when it comes to selecting plumbing fixtures for large projects like central heating systems, plastic pipes should absolutely be considered for their reliable operability and affordability.

When installing parts like boilers, tanks, and valves, the pipework connecting them should generally be 22mm. This is because wider pipes allow a greater flow rate of water and result in better performance of the system. However, for less critical areas, 15mm fittings can be used with little to no effect on overall efficiency. Make sure to double-check your measurements when buying materials since selecting the wrong size fitting can create an issue not just in terms of performance but also regarding safety.

Can you use hep2o pipe underground?

Hep2o pipe is a composite pipe system known for its versatility, but that versatility does not extend to situations where it could be buried directly underground or placed directly in concrete or other base materials. The valves associated with hep2o pipes need to be manually inserted under pressure, making essential their and the valves’ protection from direct burial. Collecting and protecting each part of the hep2o piping system above ground is a key factor in any successful installation. Failing to do so can put both the valves and piping at risk of damages that can only be fixed by replacement.

Can you connect hep2o to copper?

Copper piping has become a common choice for plumbing waste due to its availability and potential lifespan. Most instances of copper piping feature an outer diameter of 15mm, which is a British Standard. To accommodate this size, Hep2O has designed their fittings to connect perfectly with it. For slightly older copper pipe that might feature imperial measurements such as half-inch, the difference in size isn’t too drastic, so it can still be connected to Hep2O with relative ease. However, if you come across much older three-quarter inch copper piping, plumbers are more “likely to use compression fittings with a three-quarter olive on one side of the fitting” that can fit directly on 22mm solvent weld waste or those parts from the Hep2O range. Ultimately, picking the right fittings for the job will guarantee a stress-free installation process.
