Product Information

Full details

This guide is for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing reliable pipe-to-tap connections. The key benefit is a durable, WRAS-approved flexible hose for secure water supply. A key consideration is the BSP sizing, where the stated size differs from the actual diameter. This product offers a 500mm long, 15mm to 3/4" inch connection with a 12mm bore, featuring a high-quality stainless steel braided flexible hose.

FAQs

What does WRAS Approved mean?

WRAS Approval signifies that the product has been rigorously tested and meets the high standards set by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme, ensuring it is safe for use with drinking water and accepted by all water suppliers in the UK.

How do I know if I need the 3/4" or 1/2" version?

The 3/4" BSP thread on this hose measures approximately 1 inch in diameter. If your tap's thread measures 3/4 inch in diameter, you need the 1/2" version of the connector.

Can this hose be used for hot water?

This product is generally intended for cold water applications. Always check the product specifications or manufacturer's guidelines for suitability with hot water systems.

What is the bore size of this hose?

The bore size of this specific hose is 12mm.

How do I clean the hose?

Clean the exterior of the hose with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the stainless steel braiding.

What is the material of the hose?

The hose is made from flexible braided material using the highest quality grade 304 long-life stainless steel.

Does this product come individually or as a pair?

This product is supplied as a pair (x2).

Troubleshooting

Leak at the connection point

Ensure the thread is correctly aligned and not cross-threaded. Check that the washer (if applicable) is present and in good condition. Tighten the connection slightly, but avoid overtightening which can damage the seal.

Reduced water flow

Verify that the hose is not kinked or crushed. Check that the tap is fully open and that there are no blockages within the pipework or at the connection points.

Hose feels stiff or difficult to maneuver

While braided hoses are flexible, extreme cold can temporarily reduce flexibility. Ensure the hose is not under undue stress or being bent at too sharp an angle, which could compromise its integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High durability due to 304 stainless steel braiding.
  • WRAS approval guarantees compliance with water regulations.
  • Flexible construction simplifies installation.
  • Comes in a convenient pair for practical use.

Cons

  • Potential confusion due to BSP sizing standards (3/4" BSP thread measures 1" diameter).
  • Specific bore size (12mm) may not suit all applications.
  • Only suitable for cold water connections unless otherwise specified.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply is turned off before beginning.
  2. Identify the correct ends for connection: the 15mm end typically connects to your pipework (using appropriate compression fittings or push-fit connectors), and the 3/4" inch threaded end connects to the tap or valve.
  3. Hand-tighten the threaded connections first, then use appropriate tools for a final snug fit, being careful not to overtighten.

Compatibility:

  • This hose is designed for a 15mm pipe connection on one end and a 3/4" inch BSP thread (which measures approximately 1 inch in diameter) on the other.
  • Important Sizing Note: If your tap thread measures 3/4 inch in diameter, you will require the 1/2" version of this product, not the 3/4" version.
  • Suitable for standard domestic water pressures.

Care:

  • Periodically check the hose for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks.
  • Clean the exterior with a damp cloth only. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure connections remain secure.
