This Home Range flexible tap connector is ideal for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to connect larger bore pipework to taps, cisterns, or appliances with a 3/4" thread. Its key benefit is providing a secure, flexible, and reliable connection thanks to durable stainless steel braiding and brass fittings. A potential consideration is ensuring the 22mm compression and 3/4" BSP threads are compatible with your existing pipework. This connector offers a 50cm length for ease of installation and WRAS approval for regulatory compliance.

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval signifies that the product has been tested and meets the UK's stringent water supply (water fittings) regulations, ensuring it is safe for use with drinking water and does not waste, misuse, or contaminate water.
No, this connector is specifically designed and WRAS approved for potable (drinking) water systems only. It is not suitable for gas or central heating applications.
While specific pressure ratings are not provided in the product description, WRAS approved connectors are designed to withstand standard domestic and commercial water pressures. For high-pressure systems, consult a professional plumber.
The 3/4" end is a male BSP thread, designed to screw into a female 3/4" BSP fitting on a tap, appliance, or cistern.
You can clean the stainless steel braiding with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish or the hose.
No, the connector is a sealed unit and cannot be cut down. Attempting to cut it would compromise its integrity and likely cause leaks.
Ensure the pipe end is correctly cut (chamfered) and clean. Re-tighten the compression nut. If the problem persists, the olive or pipe may be damaged, requiring replacement.
Check that the thread is properly seated and screwed in straight. Ensure any existing rubber washer or seal on the appliance/tap is present and in good condition. Tighten slightly more, but avoid overtightening which can damage the seal.
Gently straighten the hose if possible without sharp bends. Ensure the installation does not put constant strain or sharp kinks on the braided hose. Reposition if necessary.
Check that the connector is not kinked. Ensure there are no blockages within the connected pipework or the fixture itself. Verify that the isolation valve is fully open.
