Product 5/14
Hep2O Standard Pipe is made from polybutylene and manufactured to BS 7291: Parts 1 and 2, Class S. Standard Pipe allows a very small amount of oxygen (not air) to enter the system but is negligible compared with that which can enter via header tanks, valve glands and pumps.
Hep2O Barrier Pipe has a layer of ethylene vinyl alcohol that prevents the diffusion of oxygen through the pipe wall. The barrier layer also has a fine adhesive coating on each side thus making 5 layers in total.
Hepworth ‘Less Risk’ Jointing.
Hep2O fittings do not require soldered joints and as a result there is no naked flame to potentially harm people or damage property. Nor is there a build-up of noxious fumes within confined spaces.
Hep2O is a clean installation as no flux is needed, keeping hands free of dirt and reducing contamination of other fittings.
Jointing Compatibility.
Hep2O pipe and fittings are designed to be compatible with traditional pipe materials and jointing techniques.
