Has Hep2o changed since 2013?

Thanks. Do you mean the connector takes the insert?

It can remain in the fitting when you remove the pipe.

Thanks. Probably not a problem, depending on exactly what new connections I'm making to those current fittings.

I'm tempted to do as much of this as possible in copper, just to avoid the "taking the insert with it" problem in the future. And I've got a 3m length of 15mm copper that's been sitting on top of the kitchen units for 13 years, my wife will be glad to see that gone!

I thought that copper pipe into Hep2o fittings is a neat way to do things, obviously I'm not going to try to do any soldering in that space!

As I said, the only leak I've ever had with Hep2o was when I tried to reuse a piece of pipe, as opposed to reusing a fitting. And from memory it was a badly scarred bit of 22 mm I was trying to reuse to avoid buying a whole new length.
