The Hep 2<br />
O ® System<br />
The Basics of Cutting and Jointing<br />
Stage 1<br />
Use only Hep 2 O ® Pipe Cutters<br />
(types HD74, HD75, HD77 or<br />
HD78) to cut the pipe. Never use a<br />
hacksaw.<br />
Wherever possible, cut the pipe at<br />
the ‘V’ marks provided.<br />
To ensure a clean, square cut, rotate<br />
the pipe whilst maintaining pressure<br />
on the cutter until the pipe is<br />
severed.<br />
Stage 2<br />
Ensure the pipe end is clean, and<br />
free from burrs and surface damage.<br />
Insert a Hep 2 O ® Support Sleeve<br />
(HX60) into the pipe end.<br />
Stage 3<br />
Push the pipe firmly into the prelubricated<br />
fitting.<br />
A secure joint has been made when<br />
the end of the retaining cap has<br />
reached the next ‘V’ mark on the pipe.<br />
Never knock the fitting onto the<br />
pipe, or slacken the retaining cap<br />
prior to pipe insertion as these<br />
actions will not ease jointing.<br />
Stage 4<br />
Tug back on the pipe to ensure the<br />
grab wedge engages correctly.<br />
Do not undo the retaining cap after<br />
pipe insertion.<br />
