OK so I have finally reached the coupling up the basin taps stage. Sadly
the advance purchase of 15mm cu to 1/2" tap are all female fittings
where the poxy flexible tails need male couplers. I think Toolstation do
something suitable but delivery only.

Also do tapered thread fittings exist anymore? I have a set of bath taps
with a single spout outlet. The connections appear to be parallel thread
female 1/2".
Can't help on Q1 as i've never used flexi tails.

I've always found taps to have male parallel connections and need the
tap connector with a thin fibre washer to seal on the end of the tail
rather than the thread itself.
