Hep2O® - Within Dry Lined Walls

Hep2O® Within Dry Lined Walls

page 1 - page 2

Installers have found that feeds to radiators run in microbore copper can be accommodated behind 'dot and dab' plasterboard to give a pipe-free appearance within the room. Pipes run in 10mm Hep2O® are equally suited to this application but will not be susceptible to damage such as dents or kinks which can be caused on 'soft' copper by following tradesmen.

The penetration through the plaster board for a radiator connection can be achieved by using a 10mm SlimLine elbow (HX5/10) together with a Fitting Clip (HX84/10 see Figure No. 44) or alternatively a dry lining box can be used (see Figure No. 46).

Another method when using 10mm Hep2O® Pipe is to utilise the HX111 Cover Plate. The HX111 Cover Plate and back-box allows for a superior and easy to install method of connecting radiators. The box is fixed in a central position behind the radiator with the 10mm pipes dropping out to the radiator valves. This gives a smart professional finish where little or no pipe is seen and for new build provides an anchor point for the pipe work prior to plastering/boarding.
