Need a little help with tap tails.

    Whenever I have fitted sinks in the past, the tails usually just screw onto a 15mm isolation valve. Well I am fitting my own kitchen this week and the female end of the tails is a smaller diameter than my 15 mm isolation valves. Any compression fittings available to allow me to connect onto my 15mm pipe and onto the tails?

    Thanks.

    Where did you get the tap from, is it a European/USA type flex, normal they would fit right on an isolator valve.

    I bought it online from a UK retailer. Not sure of the website from the top of my head but I think the tap is made by a European company. Are the male ends where they enter the tap a standard size across regions? Is it worth me just buying new tails?

    No unfortunately not, there are a few different sizes, 8mm, 10mm, 15mm?.

    Post a pic of the other end.

    You could use these 3/8 to 1/2" connectors with a piece of 15mm copper in between them and the isolator valves.

    Yes! Do you have a link for those fittings? I can't seem to find them on the screwfix site.
