The Plumbright Flexible Tap Connector is an essential plumbing component designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a reliable way to link taps to domestic water supplies. Its primary benefit is the 500mm length and flexible build, which simplifies installations in cramped vanity cabinets or hard-to-reach areas where rigid piping is impractical. While highly versatile, users should note that this connector is specifically engineered for 15mm compression to 1/2-inch connections, meaning it will not fit non-standard tap tails or plumbing diameters.

Yes, this connector is rated for standard domestic hot and cold water supply systems.
No, you only need standard adjustable wrenches to tighten the compression nut and the connector end.
This model is 500mm in length.
No, this product is strictly for water plumbing and must never be used for gas connections.
Compression joints typically rely on the olive-to-pipe seal. PTFE tape is generally not required, but can be used on the 1/2-inch threaded side if needed.
It is not recommended to bend the hose beyond its natural minimum bend radius to avoid internal kinking.
Check that the olive is positioned correctly and the pipe is cut square. Tighten the compression nut by another quarter turn.
Ensure the hose is not kinked or twisted during installation, as the flexible material can collapse if bent too sharply.
Verify the rubber washer is inside the connector and properly seated against the tap tail.
To install, ensure the water supply is isolated at the service valve. Apply a small amount of plumbers tape if necessary to threaded connections, though the compression end relies on the olive fitting to create a seal. Tighten the 15mm compression nut until firm, being careful not to overtighten and crush the olive. For the 1/2-inch end, ensure the integrated rubber washer is seated correctly before tightening. Inspect the joints for any weeping once the water is turned back on. Avoid bending the hose beyond its natural radius to prevent kinking, which could restrict water flow.
