Hi Gang, just had some new sink and bath taps today, sink one is no problem as it came with two flexible pipes to reduce from 15 to 10mm. Bath taps just came on their own and are bigger threads than my 15mm pipe, I think they would be 22mm, so what do I need to connect these taps to my 15mm pipe. Thanks in advance for any help. :help: :scratch:

3/4 - 15mm tap connectors.

I always use the speedfit ones with the rubber seal in them. You don't need to tighten much more than hand tight. :wink:

Thank Dave, are the speedfit type like those on my basin, flexible mesh type(sorry about the description), so I'll know what to get then. :thumbright: :sign7:

Hi,

Yes they are the same with a flexible hose.

FLX 16 is 300mm long.

FLX 20 is 500mm long.

FLX 38 is 500mm long with service valves.

All the above are 15mm pipe to 3/4" taps.

Don't forget you need the inserts when using plastic pipe.

OK, that's cleared up all my problems, for now at least, so thanks to you both for your help. :-) :wink:
