The Plumbright Flexible Tap Connector is designed for DIYers and professional plumbers looking to simplify tap installation in confined areas. Its primary benefit is the 300mm flexible hose, which makes connecting hardware in tight under-sink spaces significantly easier than rigid pipework. However, users should note that the compression fitting requires careful tightening to ensure a watertight seal, and it should be used only with compatible 22mm piping and 3/4 inch tap hardware.

Yes, it is suitable for standard domestic hot and cold water supply lines.
No, compression fittings create a seal via the olive against the pipe and do not require PTFE tape on the threads.
This is designed for internal domestic plumbing; check that the environment is protected from freezing temperatures if used elsewhere.
You generally only need two adjustable wrenches: one to hold the body of the fitting and one to tighten the nut.
While the hose is flexible, you should avoid extreme bends that cause kinking, as this can restrict flow and damage the internal structure.
Ensure the pipe is cut square and free of burrs. Tighten the nut an additional quarter turn, but do not overtighten.
Check that the flexible hose has not been kinked or twisted during installation, which can restrict internal water pressure.
Before installation, ensure the water supply is turned off and the lines are drained. Use a pipe cutter to ensure the 22mm supply pipe is cut square and is free of burrs. Slide the nut and olive onto the pipe, insert the connector, and tighten the compression nut by hand before finishing with a quarter-turn using a wrench. Avoid using jointing compound on the compression olive. Regularly inspect the connection for signs of moisture or weeping after the first few days of use. To maintain the life of the hose, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the exterior braid, and ensure the hose is not rubbing against sharp metal edges in the cabinetry.
