Fo oncu: s PIPES, VALVES & FITTINGS
WAVIN’S HEP₂O HEATING AND PLUMBING SYSTEM COMBINES QUICK, TOOL-FREE FITTING WITH RELIABLE PERFORMANCE, WHILE ITS HEP V O WATERLESS TRAP DESIGN SAVES TIME AND SPACE… Wavin’s flexible, reliable solutions
Bathrooms can be demanding environments for installers. Tight spaces, limited access and concealed pipe runs mean plumbing products must be quick to fit, dependable and practical for both new-build and refurbishment projects. Wavin Hep₂O: designed for fast, reliable bathroom installations. Wavin’s Hep₂O heating and plumbing system is well suited to bathroom installations, combining quick, tool-free fitting with reliable performance. Its push- fit connection system removes the need for hot works, a clear advantage where space is restricted. Installation is simple: cut the pipe, insert and twist to check, with no specialist equipment required. A key feature is In4Sure™ joint recognition, which gives a distinctive ‘rumble’ feel when the pipe is fully inserted. This helps installers confirm the joint has been made correctly, supporting a secure connection in tight or low-visibility areas. Hep₂O’s polybutylene (PB) pipe is highly flexible, making it easier to route pipework in confined spaces. It can reduce the need for additional fittings and support direct runs behind bath panels and vanity units,
as well as under floors and through joists. Bathrooms are warm and humid environments, so long-term performance matters, especially for concealed installations. Hep₂O is also corrosion- free and resistant to limescale build-up, helping maintain durability and flow over time. Where noise performance is another consideration, it also helps reduce friction noise, knocking and water hammer, contributing to a quieter finished installation. For refurbishments and retrofits, Hep₂O is compatible with copper and other systems and connects easily to bathroom taps and appliances using tap adapters and connectors. Pipes and fittings are backed by a 50-year guarantee. New Wavin Hep v O: waterless trap design saves time and space The updated Wavin Hep v O retains its high- performance silicone seal while delivering easier installation. Its sleeker design includes clearly-marked directional flow arrows to support correct orientation and alignment, particularly in tight spaces or horizontal setups. A hygienic alternative to traditional “The installer is always top of mind when it comes to the Wavin plumbing range.”

traps, Hep v O uses a self-sealing elastomeric membrane rather than a water seal, helping avoid issues caused by evaporation, siphonage, leakage or movement. This also makes it suitable for areas of infrequent use, such as guest bathrooms or holiday homes. By admitting air into the drainage system, Hep v O can also replace the need for air admittance valves in branch ventilation, helping simplify pipework in commercial or larger domestic bathroom layouts. Its space-saving in-line design can be installed horizontally or vertically, with no need to cut into floorboards under baths and showers. Its slimline format can also help maximise storage space in vanity units. The Hep v O range includes 32mm and 40mm valves, adaptors, plus a 32mm tundish kit for use with an unvented hot water storage system. It also comes with a 15-year guarantee. Declan Conlon, Wavin Sales Director, says, “The installer is always top of mind when it comes to the Wavin plumbing range. Continued innovation delivers solutions that are fast and easy to install, and that suit a multitude of projects.”
