Full details
The Plumbright Flexi Tap Tail Adaptors are designed for professional plumbers and experienced DIYers looking to bridge the gap between 15mm copper piping and 3/8-inch tap tail connections. These adaptors offer a leak-proof, durable solution for modernizing kitchen and bathroom sink installations, though users should note that they require specific wrench sizes for a secure fit and are not designed for high-pressure industrial plumbing systems.

FAQs
Are these adaptors suitable for hot water lines?
Yes, these are designed to handle standard residential hot and cold water temperatures.
Do I need special tools to install them?
No, a standard adjustable spanner is sufficient for installation.
Can these be reused?
While theoretically possible, it is recommended to use new seals or olives whenever re-installing to guarantee a leak-free fit.
What pipe size does this connect to?
These connect specifically to standard 15mm diameter water pipes.
Are these compatible with push-fit plumbing?
It is best to use these with copper pipe, as they rely on a compression fitting design.
Troubleshooting
Connection is leaking at the pipe joint
Ensure that the olive is seated correctly and that PTFE tape was applied to the threads.
Unable to tighten the adaptor fully
Check that the copper pipe end is perfectly round and free of burrs or obstructions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reliable, leak-proof connection for standard home plumbing
- High-quality, corrosion-resistant construction
- Simplifies installation of modern tapware with non-standard inlets
- Compact profile fits easily in tight vanity or pedestal sink spaces
Cons
- Not compatible with 22mm plumbing systems
- Requires proper sealing compound or PTFE tape for optimal performance
- Not suitable for high-pressure industrial or commercial environments
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your 15mm pipe is cut cleanly with no burrs at the end. Use a high-quality plumbing lubricant or PTFE tape on the threads to ensure a drip-free seal. Always tighten with an adjustable spanner, being careful not to overtighten, which could damage the internal seals. For long-term care, perform a quick check of the connections during your annual plumbing inspection to ensure no minor weeping has occurred due to temperature fluctuations. These adaptors are compatible with most standard cold and hot water supply lines found in modern homes.
