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.

Yes.
Flexible tap tails.

You need to know if they are 10 or 12mm.
