Default Flexibles with Plain Pipe Ends

Hi all

One of my colleagues was asking what these flexibles were made for
specifically. He had seen flexible connectors with compression fittings
one end and just a plain 50mm long 15mm o/d pipe-type end at the other.

Clearly you could stick a compression fitting onto the straight end, but
he thought he had seen these mentioned alongside a monobloc tap.

Are there taps out there with connections which just accept a plain
push-in pipe end? Maybe with an O-ring seal joint like plastic pipe
fittings?

Sounds easier than wielding a tap spanner, but not sure how this joint
would be dismantled.


Certainly seen shower pumps which have JG pushfit fittings built-in,
and supplied with flexible tails like you describe. (NewTeam)
