Wavin is a leading manufacturer and supplier of plastic drainage piping for above and below ground. Based in the Netherlands with 40 manufacturing sites across Europe. Their drainage history started in 1858 as Hepworth Iron company, which mined iron and then went on to manufacture sanitary pipes and fire bricks. Wavin acquired them in 2005 and has gone on to become one of the largest drainage manufacturers.
Wavin’s innovative system allows installers to place flexible plumbing pipe anywhere with minimum fuss and effort and connects to existing fixtures and copper piping without the need for soldering or pressure fittings. A push is all that’s needed for a reliable and watertight seal.
Hep20 piping has been designed to provide one of the fastest and most cost-effective installations on the market, with great benefits for both installers and customers. The Hep20 flexible push-fit plastic plumbing system is an innovative and convenient solution for domestic hot and cold water supplies and central heating systems. Hep20 pipes are resistant to calcification and build-up and are insulated to decrease the heat loss experienced in traditional copper piping. Wavin premier push-fit plastic plumbing system for the professional installer.
Hep20 is built with special In4SureTM joint recognition which ensures you get a secure joint every time. Working in conjunction with their push-fit system, you simply push the pipe in, twist and wait for the "rumble" feeling to ensure the perfect joint fitting each time.
Hep20 is a highly flexible piping system making it perfect for a wide range of installations. Arriving on a coil and coming off straight, the piping can be manoeuvred easily to suit wherever it is being placed. Working with both copper and plastic it can be used during refurbishments or in new build properties and the wide range of fittings available to suit make the installation process fast and easy.
The HepKeyTM system makes for easy adjusting of fittings. A demounting system simply clips over the existing fitting and depresses it to release the inner mechanism. A simple-looking device that hides the sophisticated but easy to use mechanisms, it prevents tampering or accidental demounting to ensure the installation is totally secure all the time.
Wavin is committed to reaching net-zero carbon by 2050, by reducing the carbon in their products, manufacturing process and distribution. They are working towards a fully electric car fleet and all sites are to be run on renewable energy.
