The Plumbright Flexible Tap Connector is an essential plumbing component for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a reliable, leak-free connection between supply lines and faucets. Featuring a 500mm length and integrated isolation valves, this product allows for easy installation in tight spaces and provides the convenience of shutting off water flow at the tap itself; however, users must ensure that all compression fittings are tightened correctly to avoid potential leaks at the connection points.

Yes, this connector is designed for standard domestic hot and cold water plumbing systems.
No, compression fittings rely on the olive to create a seal, so plumber's tape is generally not required and can sometimes interfere with the seal.
This connector is designed for internal domestic plumbing and should be protected from freezing conditions and direct UV exposure.
No, you should not attempt to cut or shorten the flexible hose as this will compromise the integrity of the connection and lead to leaks.
You will typically need two adjustable wrenches or spanners to tighten the nuts while holding the pipe or valve steady.
Ensure the olive is placed correctly and that the nut is tightened securely. If it still leaks, check the supply pipe for burrs or damage.
Check that the integrated isolation valve is fully turned to the open position and ensure the hose is not kinked or crushed behind the unit.
For maintenance, inspect the connections annually for signs of corrosion or leakage. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the exterior braiding of the hose, as this may degrade the protective coating.
