Installation instructions
The mark of a professional tradesman is that he understands and employs a wide range of materials and systems to achieve the best possible solution to individual installation situations.
The notes in this Technical Design Guide are intended to assist professional plumbers to obtain the best results from using flexible plumbing, enhancing good plumbing practice. It is not sufficient to simply replace item for item, pipe length for pipe length, as this approach will not derive the maximum benefit from the system.
It is necessary to design the system from the outset, embracing the benefits the system offers to achieve maximum benefits. Enhanced Hep20 flexibility means an opportunity to develop further skills when planning and installing plumbing, offering a comprehensive range of pipes and fittings to meet plumbing requirements. Greater pipe flexibility, long coil lengths and guaranteed joint performance, enables installations to be completed with fewer joints minimising system costs.
Pipes can be cabled into position avoiding the awkward manoeuvring associated with rigid straight lengths. Hep20 fittings are designed to accept copper as well as Hep2O pipe enabling systems to be mixed if required. The installation of Hep20 does not need heat, solders or flux, Hep20 is a 'clean' system, eliminating major causes of corrosion in new systems.
