A small disaster yesterday, one of the small copper pipes connecting
to the kitchen sink monobloc tap snapped off. It had to be the high
pressure cold! .. the chipboard panels on the unit have been ruined.

I have now replaced the copper pipes with small flexibles but I have
found the reason for the original failure ... they were being used to
help secure the tap. Now the monobloc is very floppy on the thin
stainless steel sink..

Is there supposed to be a securing bracket for these taps to take
the strain ? All that's on the base of the tap is the 2 pipe threads
and a threaded bolt.
