Flexible tap connectors
My new taps seem to just have 1/2" thread holes and are supplied with
copper pipes (15mm which thin to 1/2"). I'd rather use flexible connectors but can't find this sort of thing anywhere. Is there such a thing as 15mm (compression or push-fit) one end to 1/2" screw on the other end? If so, where can I get them from? |

ups.com... My new taps seem to just have 1/2" thread holes and are supplied with copper pipes (15mm which thin to 1/2"). I'd rather use flexible connectors but can't find this sort of thing anywhere. Is there such a thing as 15mm (compression or push-fit) one end to 1/2" screw on the other end? If so, where can I get them from? Are you sure the threaded part is 1/2"? You will probably find they are either 10mm or 12mm. If so you can get these from most sheds and plumbers merchants or alternatively from Screwfix and Toolstation as below: http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...84026&id=27936 (10mm) http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...84026&id=91351 (12mm) http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Plum...ors/d20/sd2807 (last item on the list). These are a little dearer than Screwfix but they offer free P&P at the moment. HTH John |

Great. Thats it...
Can't believe I bought all my stuff from B+Q rather than these places which are MUCH cheaper.... Do you reckon B+Q will take unpackaged bits back ??? :-) |

These have a 12mm thread and O-ring at one end and a 15mm compression fitting at the other end. Besides on-line suppliers like Screwfix, you should find them at any good plumbers merchants. Make sure you get the right ones - some have 10mm rather than 12mm threads. -- Cheers, Set Square ______ Please reply to newsgroup. Reply address is invalid. |
