FAQs

What material are these connectors made from?

These connectors are made from premium grade 304 stainless steel, which is known for its durability and resistance to rust and corrosion.

Are these connectors safe for drinking water?

Yes, they are constructed from lead-free materials, making them safe for potable water supply connections.

What does 'M10 x 1/2' mean?

M10 refers to the size of the thread that connects to your tap's inlet, while 1/2 refers to the standard UK thread size for connecting to water isolation valves.

How long are these tap connectors?

These specific connectors are 1000mm (1 meter) in length.

Can I use these for appliances other than taps?

Yes, they can be used for any application requiring a G1/2 connection to the water supply and an M10 connection to the appliance inlet, provided compatibility is confirmed.

Do I need any special tools to install them?

Typically, only basic plumbing tools like an adjustable wrench are needed. Ensure you do not overtighten connections.

What is the main advantage of stainless steel over plastic connectors?

Stainless steel offers superior strength, longevity, and resistance to temperature fluctuations and pressure compared to most plastic connectors, and it does not degrade over time in the same way.

Troubleshooting

Connector leaks at the tap (M10 end)

Ensure the M10 fitting is correctly seated and tightened. Check if the tap's M10 inlet thread is damaged or if there is debris. Consider using a suitable PTFE tape or washer if recommended by the tap manufacturer.

Connector leaks at the isolation valve (G1/2 end)

Verify the G1/2 fitting is properly aligned and tightened. Ensure the rubber washer inside the fitting is present and in good condition. Try gently re-tightening.

Water flow is restricted

Check that the isolation valve is fully open. Ensure the flexi-pipe connector is not kinked or crushed, which can impede flow. Inspect the tap's aerator for blockages.

Connector appears corroded

While made of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or environments could affect appearance. Clean with a soft cloth. If structural corrosion is suspected, replace the connector.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable construction due to 304 stainless steel.
  • Safe for potable water with lead-free materials.
  • Easy to install, saving time on plumbing projects.
  • Resistant to rust and corrosion for longevity.
  • Universal G1/2 fitting ensures wide compatibility.

Cons

  • M10 fitting may not be universal across all tap models.
  • Fixed length of 1000mm might be too long for very confined spaces.
  • Requires basic plumbing knowledge for proper installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply to the tap is turned off at the isolation valve.
  2. Unscrew the old flexi-pipe connectors from both the tap and the isolation valve.
  3. Screw the new Heable M10 connector onto the tap's water inlet.
  4. Screw the G1/2 end of the connector onto the corresponding isolation valve.
  5. Tighten securely, but avoid over-tightening, which can damage the threads.
  6. Turn the water supply back on slowly and check for leaks.

Compatibility:

  • The G1/2 fitting is standard for most UK water supply isolation valves.
  • The M10 fitting is designed for taps with a corresponding M10 inlet thread. Always verify your tap's specific fitting requirements before purchase.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
