FAQs

What is the length of these tap tails?

These Heable Tap Tails are 900mm in length.

What type of fittings do these tap tails have?

They have an M10 connection on one end for the tap outlet and a standard UK G1/2 inch BSP fitting on the other end for the water supply valve.

Are these tap tails suitable for hot and cold water?

Yes, they are designed for use with both hot and cold water supplies.

What material are the tap tails made from?

They are manufactured from premium grade 304 stainless steel.

Are these tap tails lead-free?

Yes, the 304 stainless steel construction is lead-free, ensuring a safer water connection.

Can I use these tap tails with any tap in the UK?

The G1/2 inch fitting is standard for UK plumbing. However, the M10 inlet fitting is common but not universal for all taps. Please check your tap's outlet thread size.

How should I clean these tap tails?

Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Tap tails are leaking at the connection point.

Ensure both ends are securely tightened. If the leak persists, check that the rubber washers or seals are correctly seated and undamaged. Re-tighten slightly, or consider replacing the seals if they appear worn.

Water flow seems restricted.

Check that the tap tails are not kinked or crushed. Ensure the isolation valves are fully open. Inspect the inlet and outlet connections for any debris that may be obstructing flow.

M10 fitting does not seem to connect to the tap.

Confirm that your tap has an M10 outlet thread. This fitting is standard for many taps, but some may use different thread sizes. Verify tap specifications before purchase.

Tap tails appear corroded.

While made of 304 stainless steel, extreme conditions or harsh cleaning agents could affect the surface. Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Ensure the area is dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Made from high-quality 304 stainless steel for excellent durability and corrosion resistance.
  • Lead-free construction promotes healthier water supply.
  • Standard G1/2 inch fitting ensures compatibility with most UK plumbing.
  • 900mm length offers flexibility for various installation scenarios.
  • Designed for simple and quick installation.

Cons

  • The M10 inlet fitting may not be universally compatible with all tap models; requires verification.
  • Specific length of 900mm may be too long or too short for some niche installations.
  • Requires basic plumbing knowledge for safe and correct installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply to the tap is turned off at the isolation valves.
  2. Identify the hot and cold water outlets on the tap, which should have M10 threads.
  3. Screw the M10 end of each Heable Tap Tail onto the corresponding tap outlet. Hand-tighten initially, then use a wrench to secure gently – do not overtighten.
  4. Connect the G1/2 inch end of the tap tails to the corresponding hot and cold water supply valves. Use an appropriate wrench to tighten securely, ensuring a watertight seal.
  5. Turn the water supply back on slowly and check thoroughly for leaks at both connection points.

Compatibility:

  • Inlet: M10 thread connection is designed for the tap outlet.
  • Outlet: Standard UK G1/2 inch BSP fitting is compatible with most UK water supply valves and isolation valves.
  • Length: 900mm is suitable for most standard installations; ensure this length is appropriate for your specific setup.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior of the tap tails with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish.
  • Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leakage, especially if you have hard water. Tighten gently if a minor leak is detected, but avoid excessive force.
