FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the braided stainless steel construction?

The braided 304 stainless steel construction provides superior resistance to rust, corrosion, and leaks, ensuring durability and a long lifespan for the connector.

Why is it important to use a caliper for measurement?

Plumbing fittings often have threads that make standard ruler or tape measure readings inaccurate. A caliper provides precise measurements, including thread depth, crucial for ensuring the correct flexi pipe size is chosen.

Can this connector be used for high-pressure systems?

These connectors are manufactured to meet BSP standards and are suitable for standard domestic water pressure and temperature ranges. For systems operating outside these norms, consult a professional.

What does 'BSP' stand for and why is it important?

BSP stands for British Standard Pipe. Ensuring the connector is manufactured to BSP standards guarantees compatibility with standard UK and international plumbing systems, ensuring a proper fit.

How long is the flexible pipe connector?

This specific model is 600mm in length.

Can I cut the flexible pipe to a shorter length?

No, the flexible pipe should not be cut. Doing so can compromise the integrity of the braiding and lead to leaks.

Troubleshooting

Connector is leaking after installation

Ensure the fitting is securely tightened using a wrench. Check that the threads are clean and undamaged. Verify that the correct size connector was used and that it is compatible with BSP standards. Do not over-tighten.

Difficulty fitting the connector

Double-check that the connector size (1/2" x 1/2" BSP) and thread type precisely match the fixture. Ensure no debris is present in the threads of either the connector or the fixture.

Braiding appears to be damaged

If the stainless steel braiding is visibly damaged, do not use the connector. Replace it with a new one to ensure leak-free performance and safety.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable 304 stainless steel braided construction resists rust and corrosion.
  • Ensures a leak-free connection for reliable plumbing.
  • Universally compatible with a wide range of fixtures.
  • Manufactured to BSP standards for guaranteed fit.
  • Suitable for both professional plumbers and DIY projects.

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement with a caliper for accurate fitting.
  • Not suitable for use if measurements are taken with a ruler or tape measure.
  • Specific size (1/2" x 1/2" BSP - 600mm) limits application to compatible systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure Accurately: Use a caliper to measure the exact dimensions of the fitting area, including any threading. Do not use rulers or tape measures.
  2. Select Correct Connector: Purchase the EVG flexible pipe connector that precisely matches your measurements and required thread size (1/2" x 1/2" BSP in this case).
  3. Connect Securely: Hand-tighten the connectors onto the respective male threads, then use a wrench to secure them for a tight seal. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the fittings or the hose.

Compatibility:

  • Designed to connect to fixtures requiring a 1/2" x 1/2" BSP thread. Always verify your existing fittings.
  • Suitable for hot and cold water applications within standard domestic pressure and temperature ranges.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the hose for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Look for kinks or leaks.
  • Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the stainless steel braiding.
