Product Information

Full details

This 300mm long FixTheBog Flexiable Tap Connector is designed for industrial, commercial, and residential applications requiring a durable and flexible connection. Its key benefit is resistance to kinks and bends due to its stainless steel braided construction. A potential caveat to consider is its maximum working pressure of 10 bar, which may not be suitable for extremely high-pressure systems. Key features include a 15mm compression fitting on one end, a 1/2" female BSP thread on the other, a synthetic rubber inner tube, and reinforced crimped ends.

Troubleshooting

Hose leaking at the 15mm compression fitting.

Ensure the olive is correctly seated and the compression nut is tightened sufficiently. If the issue persists, the olive or pipe may be damaged, requiring replacement.

Hose leaking at the 1/2" BSP thread.

Check that the thread is clean and correctly engaged. Ensure the fitting is adequately tightened. If the thread is damaged or worn, the component may need replacement.

Reduced water flow through the hose.

Inspect the hose for kinks or internal blockages. Ensure that the bore size (9mm) is adequate for your needs and that there are no obstructions at the connection points.

Hose appears stiff or difficult to bend.

While designed to be flexible, extreme cold temperatures can temporarily reduce flexibility. Ensure the hose is within its operational temperature range. Check for any external damage that might impede movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly flexible and resistant to kinking, ensuring ease of installation and maintenance.
  • Durable stainless steel braiding provides excellent resistance to corrosion and abrasion.
  • Versatile connection options with both compression and BSP threaded fittings.
  • Suitable for a wide range of temperatures from -5°C to 90°C.
  • Reinforced ends ensure secure and leak-free connections.

Cons

  • Maximum working pressure of 10 bar may be insufficient for some high-pressure industrial systems.
  • The 300mm length may not be suitable for all installation scenarios requiring longer reach.
  • Requires basic plumbing knowledge for correct installation of compression and threaded fittings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply is turned off before beginning installation.
  2. Connect the 15mm compression fitting to the corresponding 15mm pipe or valve outlet. Tighten the compression nut securely using appropriate wrenches.
  3. Connect the 1/2" female BSP thread to the male BSP threaded outlet, such as on a tap or valve. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to secure it an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn, avoiding overtightening.
  4. Turn the water supply back on slowly and check both connections for leaks.

Compatibility:

  • This hose is compatible with standard 15mm pipework and 1/2" BSP threaded fittings.
  • Ensure your system's working pressure does not exceed 10 bar.
  • Verify that the water temperature remains within the -5°C to 90°C range.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the hose for any signs of damage, such as cuts, abrasion, or corrosion.
  • Clean the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure connections remain secure and do not require re-tightening unless a leak is detected.
