Hep2O® - Within Internal Drywall Systems

Hep2O® Within Internal Drywall Systems

Hep2O® can easily be cabled within timber studwork and within wall systems (eg. Paramount Board) during construction. This method is often used for running feeds to radiators or where concealed plumbing is necessary eg. supplies to a recessed shower mixer.

A connection for a radiator can be made by using a secured elbow in the wall and fixing a plastic snap-on escutcheon to neatly cover the hole through the wall surface.

Alternatively for 10mm Hep2O® a dry lining box can be used which gives the advantage of allowing minor alignment adjustment to the 'tail' during 'second-fix' (see Figure No. 46) and allowing access to the elbow. 'First-fix' pipework should follow the good practice advice in the text headed 'Hep2O® within Dry Lined Walls', and 'Pipes Adjacent to Metalwork'.

NB: This solution can also be used where the radiator is fed from below in which case the risers should be located directly under each box.
