Hep2O® - Pipe Selection

Pipe Selection

Hep2O® pipe is manufactured as two types, Standard and Barrier. Their correct applications are as follows:-

Standard Pipe

Standard pipe is suitable for domestic hot and cold water services and heating applications. As standard pipe may allow the ingress of minute amounts of oxygen molecules through the pipe wall when used for heating a suitable inhibitor (Betz Dearborne Sentinel, or Fernox MB1) should be used.

Barrier Pipe

Barrier pipe is designed for central heating systems and incorporates an oxygen barrier to inhibit oxygen permeation. The use of inhibitors with barrier pipe is still recommended as corrosion can occur in all types of system regardless of pipe material.

Both Hep2O® Standard and Barrier pipe is accepted by British Gas/Scottish Gas Central Heating Care Contracts.

NOTE: Hep2O® pipe is not suitable for the conveyance of gas.
