Default Flexyadapaters

After confirmatory advice form the group ... I bought some 22
flexyconnectors for a new bath install.

I have noticed that although they are 3/4" versions with 22mm push fit
connectors on the free end ... the hole thought the fitting is much less
than 22mm, in fact it's probably around 10mm.


So although they will fit 3/4" taps and they have a 22mm feed they will
seriously reduce flow ... are they all like this or do I need to look for
other makes.

I think they're all like that.
Unless you have a very low head of water, a short length
of restriction is unlikely to be a major problem.

If you have a gravity system with low to medium flow rates, then flexible
connectors are not recommended. On a high pressure system, the reduction
might not be too bad.
