The Plumbright Flexible Tap Connector is an essential component for DIYers and professional plumbers looking to simplify sink and basin installations. It provides a robust, leak-resistant connection between your water supply and tap, offering 1000mm of reach to accommodate varied plumbing configurations; however, it is important to ensure that the compression fitting is tightened correctly to prevent long-term stress on the hose.

Yes, this connector is designed for standard domestic hot and cold water plumbing systems.
The compression fitting typically requires an olive to create the seal on 15mm pipe; check your package for included components.
While flexible, avoid extreme kinks or tight bends that restrict water flow or put undue stress on the hose wall.
It is intended for indoor basin and sink plumbing; outdoor use may expose the materials to elements that can shorten its lifespan.
You will generally need two adjustable wrenches to hold the valve steady while tightening the compression nut.
Ensure the pipe is cut square and the olive is properly seated; tighten the nut slightly more, but do not exceed recommended torque.
Check that the rubber washer is present and not pinched or damaged; replace the washer if necessary.
To install, ensure your water supply is isolated and the system is drained. Slide the compression nut and olive onto your 15mm pipe, then seat the connector firmly into the valve or pipe before tightening the nut. For the 3/4 inch end, ensure the tap tail washer is correctly seated inside the connector nut. Hand-tighten until snug, then use a wrench for an additional quarter-turn. For care, periodically inspect the braided exterior for signs of rust or fraying. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the exterior, as these can degrade the braided metal finish over time. Do not bend the hose at an angle sharper than its radius allows, as this can lead to premature failure.
