Hep2O® - Use of Corrosion Inhibitors

Use of Corrosion Inhibitors

Corrosion of metals is a hazard in all installations therefore it is essential that possible causes of corrosion are kept to an absolute minimum. Oxygen will almost always be present in any system as it can enter through a variety of points such as open header tanks, threaded joints, valves, pumps and above the bleed point on a radiator. To provide maximum system protection independent of pipe material, all heating circuits should be protected by an inhibitor.

Hep2O® Barrier Pipe incorporates an additional oxygen barrier to reduce ingress of oxygen through the pipe wall. It is accepted by British Gas and is eligible to be used in heating systems which specify SuperWarm, GasWarm or are covered by British Gas Contract Service. Fernox MB1 and Betz Dearborne Sentinel Inhibitors have been tested and are suitable for use with Hep2O®.
