The Primaflow Flexible Tap Connector is an essential plumbing component designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to bridge the gap between fixed water supply lines and kitchen or bathroom taps. It offers the benefit of simplified installation through its highly flexible construction, making it perfect for tight spaces where rigid piping is difficult to manage. However, users should note that at a 1000mm length, proper routing is necessary to prevent unnecessary kinking or straining of the hose during installation.

Yes, the product is WRAS approved, meaning it meets the necessary standards for safety and water quality in the UK.
No, this connector is designed as a complete unit and should not be shortened or modified as it will compromise the integrity of the fittings.
Generally, these connectors rely on internal rubber washers for a seal. PTFE tape is usually unnecessary and may interfere with the seating of the washer.
It is primarily used for connecting kitchen and bathroom taps to 15mm water supply pipes.
You can create a large, gentle loop to take up the slack, provided there are no sharp kinks created in the process.
Ensure the rubber washer is correctly seated inside the nut and tighten slightly more; if leakage persists, check the threads for debris.
Check the hose for sharp kinks or 'pinched' sections caused by a route that is too tight; adjust the routing to allow for a smoother curve.
To install, ensure the water supply is turned off at the mains before beginning. Use a suitable wrench to tighten the connections; be careful not to over-tighten, as this can damage the internal seals or threads. Always use a backup wrench on the pipe side to prevent twisting the supply lines during installation.
Compatibility: This connector is designed for standard 15mm compression fittings on the pipe side and 3/4 inch threads on the tap side.
Care: Periodically inspect the connector for signs of fraying, external moisture, or calcification. Avoid exposing the hose to harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the outer braid and internal rubber lining over time.
