Full details

This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and professional plumbers looking for a robust and reliable connection for their taps. The Heable flexible tap tails offer a durable, corrosion-resistant solution for plumbing installations, ensuring a secure fit. A potential caveat is the specific M10 x 1/2 inch BSP fitting, which users should confirm compatibility with their existing setup.

FAQs

What material are these tap tails made from?

They are manufactured from premium grade 304 stainless steel, which offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion.

What is the length of each tap tail?

Each flexible tap tail measures 1000mm (1 meter) in length.

What are the thread sizes for the fittings?

The tap connection end is M10 x 1/2 inch BSP, and the supply connection end is a standard UK G1/2 inch BSP.

Are these tap tails safe for drinking water?

Yes, they are manufactured to be lead-free, making them suitable and safe for domestic drinking water systems.

How do I check if my tap is compatible?

You need to check the inlet connections on your tap. These tails are designed for taps with M10 x 1/2 inch BSP inlets. The other end is a standard G1/2 inch fitting for most UK water valves.

Can I bend these tap tails sharply?

While flexible, it is best to avoid sharp bends or kinks, as this can restrict water flow and potentially damage the internal structure over time. Aim for smooth curves.

What is the warranty period for these tap tails?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Connector is leaking

Ensure both M10 x 1/2 inch and G1/2 inch fittings are securely tightened. Check that the internal seals or washers are present and undamaged. If a leak persists, the connector may need replacement.

Cannot connect to tap fitting

Verify that your tap uses an M10 x 1/2 inch BSP inlet. If it's a different size or type, this connector will not be compatible.

Water flow is restricted

Ensure the tap tails are not kinked or bent too sharply, which can impede water flow. Check that the valves the tails connect to are fully open.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to 304 stainless steel
  • Excellent resistance to rust and corrosion
  • Standard UK fittings ensure wide compatibility
  • Lead-free materials for safer water
  • Generous 1000mm length offers installation flexibility

Cons

  • Specific M10 x 1/2 inch BSP fitting may not be universal for all tap types
  • Requires confirmation of compatibility with existing plumbing
  • Can be stiffer than rubber hoses, requiring careful bending

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Turn off the water supply: Ensure the main water valve is shut off before starting.
  2. Disconnect old flexi-tails (if applicable): Unscrew the old connectors from the tap and the water supply.
  3. Connect to the tap: Screw the M10 x 1/2 inch end onto the corresponding inlet of your tap. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a firm (but not overtightened) seal.
  4. Connect to the water supply: Screw the G1/2 inch end onto the stopcock or isolation valve. Hand-tighten and then use a wrench.
  5. Turn on water supply: Slowly open the main water valve and check for leaks at both connection points.

Compatibility:

  • The M10 x 1/2 inch BSP fitting is designed for the tap's water inlet. Verify your tap uses this specific connection.
  • The G1/2 inch BSP fitting is a standard size for most UK water supply valves and stopcocks.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the stainless steel finish.
  • Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
