I am refitting a washhand basin and pedestal and have a couple of flexible tap

Are there "rules " about using flexible tails as keeping them straight as much
as possible or is it OK to "bend" them ?

i`m not a plumber etc :-}

IIRC the monobloc tap on my kitchen sink has two small copper tails that
we had to use - there was no way a flexi would attach due to the
connections on the underside of the monobloc.

You may need to check on the connection arrangement to see if its
actually possible to get the flexis onto the monobloc direct :-}


Yeah.It is possible although it 's tight .I used them on my kitchen sink as
well....One tail has the nut to tighten it at a different position from the
other ...if it wasnt that way the two nuts would be in each others way when you
tried to get a spanner on .
