Construction Types & Water Distribution
Typical European
Construction Using
Hep 2 O ® Conduit Systems
European construction often
employs conduit systems to
distribute water pipes in floors and
walls.
The basic Hep 2 O ® Conduit System
has been described on page 68 and
pages 74 and 75 for UK construction.
In this section, the Conduit System is
shown in greater detail on how to
deal effectively with terminations in
walls and floors as encountered in
European construction projects.
The conduit terminal fittings that
form part of the Hep 2 O ® Conduit
System are shown below.
Conduit terminations at floor
finish level
For terminating the conduit pipe at
floor finish level for direct 15mm
connections to appliances, a Conduit
Terminal Fitting (HX101/15) is
available . For floor terminations the
plastic housing may be drilled
through the base to allow fixing.
The floor termination procedure,
stages 1 to 4, is shown below.
