The Plumbright flexible tap connector is ideal for professional plumbers and DIY home improvers who need to bridge the gap between rigid copper pipes and basin or sink taps. Its primary benefit is the 300mm length, which provides essential maneuverability in tight cabinetry where rigid pipes struggle to align; however, users should note that the hose is not designed for bending at extremely sharp angles, which could cause kinking and restrict water flow.

Yes, this connector is suitable for standard domestic hot and cold water supplies.
Yes, the 15mm compression end includes the necessary nut and olive for installation.
While the hose is flexible, bending it too sharply can cause it to kink and restrict flow. Try to maintain a gentle curve.
This product is designed for indoor domestic plumbing applications under a sink or basin.
You will typically need an adjustable wrench or a spanner set to tighten the compression nut.
Ensure the pipe end is square and burr-free. Re-tighten the nut slightly; if it continues to leak, inspect the olive for damage.
Check the hose for sharp kinks. Adjust the positioning of the hose to ensure a smooth, rounded path for the water.
To install, ensure your supply pipe is clean and free of burrs where the 15mm olive will seat. Tighten the compression nut using an adjustable wrench until snug, then give it an extra half-turn. Do not use excessive force on the tap-end connection, as the integral rubber washer is designed to provide the seal. For maintenance, periodically check the hose for signs of corrosion or outer braiding fraying. If you notice dampness, inspect the connections and replace the olive if necessary. Always shut off the water supply before attempting installation or removal.
