Product Information

Full details

The Aumix Flexible Braided Tap Connector is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to bridge the gap between fixed pipework and bath taps. Its primary benefit is the combination of a robust 304 stainless steel exterior and high-pressure flexibility, which simplifies installation in tight under-sink spaces. Users should be aware that the 3/4 inch BSP connection requires standard plumbing knowledge regarding thread measurement, as the physical diameter of the fitting is 1 inch, consistent with industry sizing standards.

FAQs

Are these hoses suitable for hot water?

Yes, they are designed to handle standard domestic hot and cold water supplies.

Do these come with the required washers?

Yes, standard Aumix connectors include the necessary washers for a secure seal.

Can I use these for kitchen sinks?

These are specifically designed for 22mm pipework, which is more commonly found in bathroom installations rather than standard 15mm kitchen feeds.

Is 300mm the total length?

Yes, the hoses are manufactured to a total length of 300mm.

What is WRAS approval?

It is a certification that indicates the product complies with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations and Byelaws in the UK.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking at the connection point

Ensure that the rubber washer is correctly seated and the nut is tightened adequately; if it persists, check for damage to the threads.

Hose appears too short for the setup

Re-evaluate the pipe routing to remove any unnecessary loops or bends, or consider using extension pipework.

Difficulty identifying the thread size

Remember that 3/4 inch BSP is a nominal size; the physical thread measurement of 1 inch is the industry standard for this connector type.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable stainless steel braiding resists kinking and rust
  • WRAS certification provides peace of mind for residential water use
  • Flexible structure makes installation in cramped bathroom cabinets significantly easier
  • Reliable construction prevents leaks under standard operating pressures

Cons

  • Specific 300mm length may be too short for some configurations
  • Thread sizing can be confusing for beginners due to the 1-inch physical measurement of the 3/4 inch BSP thread
  • Requires proper sealing materials like PTFE tape or washers for a watertight finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure water supply is turned off and the system is drained.
  2. Measurement: Verify that your pipework is 22mm and the tap connection is 3/4 inch BSP.
  3. Connection: Tighten the nuts firmly using a spanner, ensuring that a suitable washer or sealant is used to create a watertight seal.
  4. Inspection: Once installed, slowly turn the water back on and check for any signs of weeping at the connections.
  5. Maintenance: Periodically check for any corrosion or degradation of the outer braiding, especially in damp environments. Clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth to prevent lime scale buildup.
