Osma Gold
Jun 28th, 2014, 6:41pm
 
I believe the plastic hot and cold water pipes in my house are "Osma Gold". Can't see that on the Osma/Wavin web site.

Anyone know if it's compatible with their current product (Hep20) or better still JG Speedfit which I can get from Screwfix.

I need to add some isolation valves.

Not seen osma gold, but I would expect it to be a standard size, only thing I would say is use osma inserts or try the speedfit with the orings to see if they are a tight fit.

The alternative is compression

Do you happen to know if Hep20 connectors are supplied with inserts for their pipe (Hep20 pipe) or do you have to order them separately?

You normally buy them separately. Speedfit seem to have completely overtaken Hepworth and the inserts are very different. If in doubt I would use a compression fitting but then you would still need inserts.
