This Xcel Home flexible tap connector is designed for both professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, tool-free method to link 15mm supply pipes to 1/2-inch tap inlets. Its primary benefit is the combination of easy push-fit installation and a robust stainless steel braided exterior that ensures long-term durability and corrosion resistance; however, users should note the fixed 150mm length, which may limit its reach in tight spaces where a longer hose is required.

Yes, it is WRAS approved, meaning it has been tested for safety and compatibility with potable water supplies.
Yes, it is compatible with standard 15mm plastic plumbing pipe, provided the pipe is properly supported.
Usually, the rubber washer provides the necessary seal for a 1/2-inch tap connection, so PTFE tape is typically not required.
This connector is designed for standard domestic hot water systems; check that your water heater output does not exceed the manufacturer's specified temperature limits.
While the hose is flexible, avoid sharp or acute bends that could cause the inner tubing to kink or restrict water flow.
Ensure the pipe is pushed in fully and that the pipe end is not scratched or damaged; remove and re-seat if necessary.
Verify the rubber sealing washer is present and correctly seated; tighten slightly more if a drip persists.
To install, ensure the 15mm copper or plastic pipe is cut cleanly and free of burrs. Firmly push the pipe into the connector's push-fit end until it seats completely; you may feel a slight resistance as the internal grab ring engages. For the 1/2-inch threaded end, ensure a quality sealing washer is in place before tightening onto the tap tail—do not overtighten, as this can compress the washer and cause leaks. Periodically inspect the braided surface for signs of fraying or dampness. If the system is unused for long periods, check the connections for any signs of mineral buildup or degradation.
