Pete Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Just connecting hep2o fitting and just wondering if it needs a washer in the bottom? It does not come with a washer and the bottom seems tapered so I guess not but just thought i would ask anyway. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpmiller Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 what's screwing into it? Flat faced or taper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Reading between the lines you tried connecting it just with ptfe tape and it leaked? As above what is it connecting to? if it's a tap, it's probably the wrong fitting for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It attaches to the back of a geberit toilet isolation valve and it is flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 One to the other!! Half tempted to try without the washer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Wrong fitting You need a tap connector not a female 1/2” BSP as shown. The tap connector will have the seal inside it already ( assuming Hepworth ) so nowhere to go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 That needs a tap connector, https://www.screwfix.com/p/hep2o-plastic-push-fit-straight-tap-connector-15mm-x/3063f And will be used with a fibre washer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Also, make sure you’re cleaning out all the bits of goop and PTFE tape as they’ll go into the float valve and cause it to fail early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
