Monobloc tap tails
Easy job made hard. Tail spilt. So off the Screwfix - all theirs had a
compression fitting and I wanted one with a 1'2 inch BSP to screw onto a Isolating Valve. Tried Plumb Centre - same sort of stock Amazon - success. I really didn't want to faff about changing stuff behind the pedestal. Why don't they make things more readily available to screw onto an isolating valve? |

I think most of the compression fittings use a BSP thread, so they can be used, even if you need to add a female to female adapter. |

The pipe lengths were suited to the tails - adding adaptors and stuff behing the confines of a pedistal didn't appeal. Hopefully what arrives today will be a match for what I removed. |

You'll be pleased to know that Amazon doesn't show me your order history.  |

You'll be pleased to know that Amazon doesn't show me your order history. https://www.bes.co.uk/flat-faced-str...-bsp-pm-23573/ It has a flat face on one end so it doesn't cut into the rubber washer on a "standard" flexi connector end.
