Right, after help again.

Just bought a small vanity unit and sink for a cloakroom. I've got plastic pipe going to the general area for both hot and cold. The tap is a mixer with 2 copper tails. How do I fix between plastic and copper. I assume I need isolation valve and I suspect I need flexible hoses to get angle from behind the blackboard of the vanity unit to the tails which will sit directly above the main area of the vanity unit.

Advice appreciated.

You can use push fit on copper or plastic.

If you use plastic you shouldn't need the flexi.

As above - or bin the copper tails and fit speedfit tails then pop 'em onto your plastic pipe (just don't forget the inserts!)
