Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast FloFit+ Tap Connector is designed for homeowners and professional plumbers who need a reliable, flexible solution for connecting 15mm push-fit piping to standard 3/4-inch tap outlets. This component offers the significant benefit of a 300mm flexible hose, which simplifies installations in tight or awkward spaces where rigid pipework would be difficult to maneuver; however, users should ensure the push-fit connection is fully seated to avoid potential leaks in high-pressure systems.

FAQs

Can I use this for hot water systems?

Yes, the FloFit+ system is designed to perform reliably in both hot and cold water plumbing and heating applications.

Do I need any specialized tools to install this?

No specialized tools are required for the push-fit end, though a basic wrench is needed to secure the 3/4-inch connection to the tap.

Is this reusable?

Push-fit connectors are generally designed for permanent installation, though many allow for disconnection if done correctly; however, it is best practice to use a new connector for critical repairs.

What is the maximum pressure this connector can handle?

It is rated for standard residential water mains pressure; please refer to the technical data sheet for specific PSI/bar ratings.

Does it include the rubber washer for the tap connection?

Yes, the unit comes with the necessary sealing components to connect to a standard 3/4-inch tap outlet.

Troubleshooting

Water weeping from the push-fit connection

Ensure the pipe is cut square and the end is deburred. Remove and re-insert the pipe, checking that it is pushed past the internal O-ring.

The 3/4-inch nut is leaking

Verify that the rubber washer is properly seated inside the nut and ensure the connection is tightened securely with a wrench, but do not overtighten.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces installation time compared to rigid copper piping
  • Flexible hose accommodates misaligned pipework
  • No soldering or professional tools required
  • High-quality materials ensure long-lasting durability

Cons

  • Requires careful alignment to ensure a secure push-fit seal
  • Limited to 15mm pipe diameter systems
  • Not suitable for high-vibration industrial environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your 15mm pipe is clean, free of debris, and cut squarely with no burrs on the end. Insert the pipe firmly into the push-fit end of the connector until you feel a distinct 'click' or resistance, indicating the pipe has passed the internal O-ring seal. For the 3/4-inch end, use a suitable wrench to tighten the nut onto the tap outlet; ensure a rubber washer is correctly seated before tightening. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the internal components. For care, periodically inspect the connections during routine maintenance checks, especially if the installation is in an area subject to temperature fluctuations.
