FAQs

Can I use this for central heating?

This connector is designed for standard domestic plumbing and water supply; verify local code and temperature ratings before using it in a pressurized heating loop.

Is the 1/2 inch end standard for all taps?

Most standard household basin taps use 1/2 inch connections, but always check your specific tap manual before purchase.

Do I need plumbers tape?

Generally, these connectors rely on internal compression washers; if leaking persists, check the washer before applying thread tape.

What is the maximum pressure rating?

The connector is rated for standard domestic water supply pressures; avoid usage in high-pressure commercial systems.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

This product is primarily intended for indoor plumbing applications.

Troubleshooting

Connection is dripping after installation

Check that the internal rubber washer is correctly seated and re-tighten the fitting by a quarter turn.

Unable to thread the connector onto the pipe

Ensure the pipe is clean, free of paint or debris, and perfectly circular without kinks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flexible 300mm reach assists in tight installation spots
  • High-quality construction for reliable leak prevention
  • Simple, tool-friendly design for quick installation
  • Standard sizing works with most common domestic taps

Cons

  • Limited to 15mm pipe and 1/2 inch tap specifications
  • Not intended for high-pressure industrial applications
  • Length is fixed at 300mm, which may be too long or short for unique custom setups

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the water supply is isolated before beginning any work. Clean the pipe ends to remove burrs or debris before attempting the connection. Tighten the fittings securely, ensuring the internal washers are properly seated to prevent drips. For care, periodically inspect the connector for signs of calcification or wear, especially in hard water areas. Do not overtighten the connection, as this can damage the internal seals or the plastic threading. Always verify that the pipe diameter is exactly 15mm before attempting installation to ensure a safe, high-pressure seal.
