hep2o compatibility with JG speedfit experience

[jbuild]

After sorting out a friends boiler (my other post) with your very good help, I need to replace an ice split hep20 15mm equal T. I cant get hold of hep2o from local merchants but can get JG speedfit.

From experience, are the systems compatible in this case?

T junction will be open to elements but insulated (this time). Fed by 15mm copper and other two connections are Hep2o pipe

many thanks

use a brass compression.

Agree with Seco......yes they do fit (inserts permiting) but it ivalidates any manufactuerers warranties......compression is just as easy

When using compression fittings on Hep2O the olive seals onto the pipe OK but I have had leaks between the olive annd the brass fitting. Do you use some form of sealant/boss white on the olive to fitting seal?

I have to say ive never had any problem with putting Hep into Speedfit and vice versa.

you won't till it fails and causes damage.

There is more chance of copper failing a speedfit joint than HEP.

Go to a different merchants that stock Hep2o and buy your tee there. Both Plumb Centre and City Plumbing keep it
