Full details
The Securplumb Flexi Tap Connector is designed for DIYers and professional plumbers alike who need a reliable, flexible solution for connecting taps to water supplies. This 50cm connector streamlines plumbing projects by allowing for easy navigation in tight spaces and includes an integrated isolating valve for quick maintenance shut-offs, though it is specifically sized for standard connections and may not suit heavy-duty industrial pipework.

FAQs
Can I use this for hot water supply?
Yes, this connector is designed to handle standard domestic hot and cold water supplies.
What is the primary benefit of the isolating valve?
The valve allows you to turn off the water to a single tap without shutting off the water supply to the rest of the house.
Is any special sealant required?
Typically, the internal rubber washers provide a sufficient seal, but PTFE tape can be used on the threads if you encounter minor drips.
Can this be extended?
No, it is recommended to use a single continuous connector rather than joining multiple flexible hoses together, as this increases the risk of leaks.
Does this connector fit all taps?
It is designed for standard residential taps, but you should verify the thread size requirements of your specific tap model before purchase.
Troubleshooting
Leakage at the connection point
Ensure the rubber washer is correctly seated and the nut is tightened firmly; if it persists, use PTFE tape on the threads.
Restricted water flow
Check that the hose has not been kinked or bent at an extreme angle during installation.
Isolating valve is stiff
Gently wiggle the valve handle to loosen sediment or mineral deposits.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Easy to install in cramped spaces behind basins or sinks
- Integrated valve eliminates the need for extra fittings
- Flexible material prevents kinking and stress on joints
- Standardized design fits most common tap connections
Cons
- 50cm length may be too short for some extended runs
- Not intended for high-pressure commercial or industrial applications
- Requires proper sealing of threads to prevent leaks
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the water supply is turned off at the mains before beginning. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the connections; do not over-tighten, as this can damage the internal rubber washers. Ensure the connector is not twisted during installation, as this can weaken the structure. For long-term care, periodically inspect the hose for signs of mineral buildup or cracking, especially in areas with hard water. Keep the isolating valve handle clean and occasionally cycle it (open and close) to ensure it remains free-moving.
