Hi, I recently bought a new Tap from Screwfix. Upon installation I realised the Tap tails were too short to fit to the water supply. I used 2 of the old connectors from the old tap (which had long copper pipes first in the old tap) and the new tap seems ok. Please can someone look at the uploaded pic to check if I've done something wrong or should do something different as don't want something disastrous like a leak to suddenly happen! thanks Phill
Could you not just turn that compression t piece around so the flexi connection side sits upwards? understand its a bit more hassle but two flexis together is a bit chipshop.
It’s ok, it works and no leaks I guess so all good ! (It ain’t pretty though) Any connection is a ‘possible’ source of future leaks (not saying it will leak though), and uv introduced additional connections Would be nice to replace the short flexis with longer, better job. SF sell a selection of fairly standard lengths which normally do the job Online (as ever) you will find a larger selection of flexi lengths to sort all situations Always buy branded flexis, as with everything, cheap ain’t always best
Ok thanks for the info, may search for longer length flexi's, think Screwfix ones only go up to 300mm may have to look elsewhere
SF sell the ‘common’ lengths - even go up to 1mt, often used under baths to connect taps, shower rails, divertors, etc (are you sure they don’t stock 500mm) ? Just if you need an inbetween size, and don’t want the faff of altering pipework, then online is a much bigger choice
