M8 Flexible tap connectors - any impact on pressure if 500mm connector used?

    Hi, Connecting up a downstairs cloakroom basin. Cold water is Mains pressure. Hot water is gravity fed from loft. General length of the tap tails is 300mm. I need something longer (around 500mm). Alternatively I can modify the pipework to fit. My (very basic) question is will the hot water pressure drop more if I use a longer flexible hose?

    Thanks in advance.

    Doubt you notice a difference.

    Agree, also you have the benefit that you're downstairs, more distance and hence pressure from the CW tank.

    Pay attention to the bore size of the flexi when you order. Bigger the better obvs.

    Pretty sure you won't any M8 flexi's with a larger bore,usually only get that with the 15mm & 22m flexi's.
