hep20 equal tee

[chirpychippy]

Hello all, i have got to renew two lengths of copper pipe hot and cold feeds both are linked into HEP20 equal tee's white in colour. Can the existing pipe removed and replaced with a new pipe without destroying the connection and then having to replace both tee's?

You can re-use them but you might need two new grab rings depending on how you get them off the pipe.Cut the pipe and take them off backwards.

Or use the proper hepkey.

you might need two new grab rings

I'd recommend replacing the 'O' rings, also.

Buy one hep coupler and rob the unions from it to replace the parts you need on the tees.

as seco said.

if the tee looks like the first pic just get a key as in the second pic

Thank you all the tee pictured is the exact one, serves me right for not looking back again at the posts, couldnt get tees off with out key, so cut poly pipes, hot and cold from boiler and elbowed them onto replacement pipes to feed upstairs bathroom. Once new units and sink in place cut polypipe again put in tees for hot and cold to new sink and connected flexi tap connectors via ball valves and some pipe to the tees.

Then proceeded to have a go at the waste "double bowl" and rang the plumber "beyond me"
