Product Information

Full details

This 100cm Flexitaly flexible connector pipe is designed for water installations requiring a high flow rate, such as pumps or main household water lines. Its primary benefit is the durable stainless steel construction and large 15mm internal bore, ensuring robust performance and efficient water transfer. A potential consideration is its specific 3/4 Inch BSP female thread size, which must match your existing fittings. Key features include stainless steel construction, a 15mm bore, 100cm length, and integrated anti-vibration and water hammering protection.

Troubleshooting

Leak at connection point

Ensure the included washer is correctly seated and not damaged. Tighten the fitting slightly more. If the leak persists, check for damaged threads on either the pipe or the fitting.

Reduced water flow

Verify that the pipe is not kinked or excessively bent. Check for any blockages within the connected equipment (e.g., pump intake, filters). Ensure the 3/4 inch fittings are fully open.

Excessive noise or vibration

Confirm the anti-vibration features are engaged and the pipe is not in direct contact with rigid surfaces that could transmit vibration. Ensure connections are snug.

Pipe appears damaged or corroded

Cease using the pipe immediately. Stainless steel is highly resistant, but extreme conditions or manufacturing defects could cause damage. Contact the manufacturer or supplier for a replacement.
