Product Information

Full details

The Xcel Home Flexible Pipe Connectors are designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to upgrade or repair kitchen and basin monobloc mixer taps. These 500mm hoses provide a reliable, leak-free connection between supply lines and faucets, offering a durable lead-free solution for safe water delivery, though users must ensure their existing fixture requires M10 to 1/2 inch BSP threading before purchase.

FAQs

Are these hoses suitable for hot water?

Yes, they are designed to handle standard domestic hot and cold water temperatures.

Can I use these for a bath tap?

These are primarily designed for monobloc mixer taps (kitchen or basin). Check your bath tap size, as they often require larger 3/4 inch connections.

Do I need plumber's tape for these?

These connectors rely on internal rubber washers to create a seal. Plumber's tape is generally not required and could interfere with the washer seal.

Is the 500mm length adjustable?

No, the length is fixed. If your setup requires a different length, consider the 600mm variant if it better suits your spatial requirements.

Are the fittings included?

The hoses come with the M10 and 1/2 inch BSP fittings pre-attached.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking at the connection point

Ensure the rubber washer is correctly seated and the connection is tightened securely with a wrench.

Difficulty threading the M10 end into the tap

Check that the threads are clean and aligned properly. Do not force the connection, as cross-threading can damage the tap housing.

Flow rate seems restricted

Check the hose for any sharp bends or kinks that may be obstructing the internal bore.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality 304 stainless steel resists corrosion
  • Flexible structure simplifies installation in tight spaces
  • Lead-free construction for safe water consumption
  • Standardized M10 x 1/2 inch BSP fittings fit most UK taps

Cons

  • Length is fixed at 500mm, which may be too long or short for specific setups
  • Requires proper thread alignment to avoid cross-threading
  • Not suitable for high-pressure industrial applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the water supply is turned off at the isolation valve. Connect the M10 end to your monobloc tap, hand-tightening first to avoid cross-threading, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn. Connect the 1/2 inch BSP end to your cold or hot water supply pipe using a standard washer to ensure a proper seal. To maintain the life of the hoses, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the stainless steel surface. Periodically check for dampness or signs of moisture at the connection points to ensure seals remain secure over time.
