Yes, they are designed to handle standard domestic hot and cold water temperatures.
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.
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.
No, the length is fixed. If your setup requires a different length, consider the 600mm variant if it better suits your spatial requirements.
The hoses come with the M10 and 1/2 inch BSP fittings pre-attached.
Ensure the rubber washer is correctly seated and the connection is tightened securely with a wrench.
Check that the threads are clean and aligned properly. Do not force the connection, as cross-threading can damage the tap housing.
Check the hose for any sharp bends or kinks that may be obstructing the internal bore.
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.
