The Primaflow Flexible Tap Connector is an essential plumbing component for professional installers and DIY enthusiasts looking to create secure, long-lasting links between water supplies and tap inlets. Its primary benefit is the 300mm of high-quality flexible tubing, which simplifies installation in cramped cabinets or behind tight sink fixtures. However, users should note that the 22mm x 3/4 inch sizing is specific to larger water supply lines and may not be compatible with standard 15mm household tap tails without additional adapters.

Yes, because it is WRAS-approved, it meets strict standards for safety and water quality.
Yes, this connector is designed to handle the temperature variations found in standard residential hot and cold water systems.
Yes, the product is designed with integrated sealing washers for a secure connection.
No, you should never cut a flexible tap connector, as this will destroy the integrity of the connection and lead to leaks.
Tighten by hand until firm, then use a wrench to provide an additional quarter to half turn. Do not overtighten.
Check that the rubber washer is seated correctly and verify that the nut has been tightened sufficiently. If the leak persists, check the threads for damage.
Inspect the hose to ensure it has not been kinked or bent beyond its minimum radius during the installation process.
Verify that you are using a 3/4 inch connection size, as this connector is larger than standard 15mm domestic tap fittings.
To install, ensure the water supply is turned off at the mains or isolation valves. Clean the mating threads on your tap and supply line to remove any debris or old plumber's tape. When connecting, check that the internal washer is present and not pinched, as this is the primary cause of leaks. Tighten the nuts firmly, but avoid using excessive force, which could crack the housing. For long-term care, periodically inspect the hose for signs of bulging or fraying, especially if located in an area subject to frequent movement or temperature fluctuations. Ensure the connector is not twisted during installation, as this can weaken the internal structure over time.
