Will these flexible tails connect to 15mm Plastic pipe?
 

Got the low pressure tap on order.

I hope the connections can be made to 15mm plastic pipe, or else I'll
be ripping out tiled trunking.

Yup, it looks like the flexi tails terminate in a female 1/2" BSP
threaded coupling.

Normally I would stick a full bore compression service valve on the end
of your pipe[1], take off the other nut and ditch the olive, and then
screw the tail directly onto the valve. The flexi has a rubber washer in
it to make the seal.

[1] Remember to use the right inserts on the plastic pipe when using
compression fittings.

Not the most useful photo, but you can just see a flexi fixed onto a
service valve in the way described he

Just the sort of detailed advice I needed, thanks.
I would never have thought of the plastic pipe inserts myself.
