Connection to Storage Vessels and Radiators

When connecting Hep2O® pipe to cylinders, radiators etc. it is always recommended that Hep2O® fittings are used wherever possible. The Hep2O® range of fittings includes thermostatic, wheel head and lockshield radiator valves, double check valves, tank connectors, gate valves, stopcocks and cylinder connectors.

If the use of compression fittings is unavoidable then the jointing instructions outlined in the section, 'Connection Using Compression Fittings' should be carefully followed.

Do not use any jointing compound on the jointing shoulder of the cylinder connector, use only PTFE tape. Do not use any jointing compound when fitting tank connectors, use only sealing washers (not provided).
