FAQs

What material are these tap tails made of?

They are made from premium grade 304 stainless steel, known for its durability and resistance to rust and corrosion.

What is the length of each tap tail?

Each flexible tap tail measures 500mm in length.

What are the thread sizes for these connectors?

The connectors have an M10 thread for the tap side and a 1/2 inch BSP thread for the water supply connection.

Are these suitable for hot and cold water?

Yes, they are designed for reliable water delivery and are suitable for both hot and cold water lines.

How many tap tails are included in a pack?

Each pack contains two flexible tap tails.

Can I use these for bath taps?

These are primarily designed for kitchen and basin taps. For bath taps, ensure the pressure and flow requirements are compatible and check the thread sizes.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

Basic plumbing tools like an adjustable wrench are typically sufficient. Ensure you have plumber's tape if required by your specific water valve connections, though these fittings often rely on rubber seals.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the connection point

Ensure the connection is securely tightened. Check if the rubber washer or seal is present and correctly seated. If damaged, replace the tap tail.

Difficulty connecting to tap or valve

Verify that the fitting sizes (M10 and 1/2 inch BSP) match your tap and water valve threads. Ensure there are no obstructions or cross-threading.

Kink in the flexible pipe

Handle the flexible pipes carefully during installation to avoid sharp bends or kinks, which can restrict water flow or damage the pipe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction from 304 stainless steel resists corrosion and rust.
  • Flexible design simplifies installation, especially in confined areas.
  • Standard M10 x 1/2 inch BSP fittings ensure broad compatibility.
  • 500mm length offers good reach for various tap setups.
  • Provides a safe and reliable water connection.

Cons

  • Requires specific M10 x 1/2 inch BSP connections, may not fit all systems.
  • Flexibility may require careful handling to avoid kinks.
  • Length might be excessive for very small or unusually placed fixtures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply to the tap is turned off at the mains or isolation valves.
  2. Remove the old tap tail or connection.
  3. Connect one end of the flexible tap tail (M10 fitting) to the corresponding inlet on the tap.
  4. Connect the other end (1/2 inch BSP fitting) to the water supply valve or pipework.
  5. Hand-tighten both connections initially, then use a wrench for a final snug fit, being careful not to overtighten.
  6. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.

Compatibility:

  • These tap tails are designed with M10 threads for the tap connection and 1/2 inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) for the water supply connection. Verify that your tap and water valves use these specific fitting sizes before purchase.
  • Suitable for use with standard kitchen and basin taps.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior of the connectors with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the stainless steel finish.
  • Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leakage, especially after prolonged use.
