Default flexible connection for "modern" tap

I'm fitting a modern style tap (that has two screw in copper 15mm
pipes for the water supply, so you can't fit a usual flexible
connector that has a tap connector at one end, can you get flexible
pipe with a "normal" 15mmm compression fittinig on both ends, or an
adaptor? Its a really fiddly location behins a double sink and it
would be pretty hard to work without some flexibility.


Better than that - you can get flexible tails which screw into the base of
the tap in place of the supplied rigid tails, and which have push-fit or
compression connectors on the other end.

There are at least two thread sizes - M10 and M12 - used for connecting
tails to monobloc taps, so you need to determine which size you have.

Then go to Screwfix.com and look at item 27936, 91351, 99193 or 84084.
