Hep2O® - Thermal Insulation

Thermal Insulation

Although Hep2O® pipe has lower thermal diffusivity than copper, its insulation requirements are the same as those of copper and should be in accordance with BS 5422, BS 6700, Water Byelaws and Building Regulations Approved Documents. Hep2O® pipe is less likely to burst should the water in the pipe freeze, however should Hep2O® be connected to a metal pipe, a metal tap or a close configuration of fittings (incorporating metal support sleeves) then the likelihood of a failure due to the expansion of frozen water will be increased.
