Hep20 inserts

mhuk · 3 Apr 2008

I've not worked with Hep20 pipe before. Do I need to use pipe support sleeves or pipe end protectors when connecting to push fit fittings (possibly from Screwfix as there's one local)?

Links:

pipe supports

protectors

Thanks.

support sleeves the protectors go in the end of copper so you dont cut the "o" ring

You do not need inserts when using copper pipe with Hep20 fittings

well i never

The only copper pipe is where the new system will join the existing 15 and 22mm copper pipes- all the new pipe will be Hep20.

Hep20 fittings will be OK to join to the copper (hot 22mm and cold 15mm)?

The boiler is in the bathroom so the distance is short- do I run 22mm to the bath taps?

na use 15 if its a combi if its a cylinder then use 22

yup if your using a pipe cutter you dont really need the protectors either
