    Why do you need copper flexi?

    Too expensive by far, go for a cheaper option...:money:

    What has flexible copper have to do with connecting taps?

    You have:

    Flexible tap connectors
    or Tap connectors

    If its colour you are worried about.... Paint it.

  • By the way. What you are picturing has nothing to do with taps. Its a flexible coupling.

    Its quite simple, i want to fit a new bath with taps and don't want to use flexible rubber connections as they are prone to bursting so want to keep to copper and the flexi pipes also reduce the bore size.

    I have found what i need now thanks. , £2.20 a piece instead of £10 at Homebase

    Oh, I see it.

    You want a 3/4" connector not 1/2"


    & its most likely 22mm on hot & poss 15mm on cold.

    & then you add VAT & delivery ........ Does it still look good?

    Your bath taps should have 3/4" fittings.

    The cold pipe is either 15mm or 22mm but the hot is most likely 22mm.

    What makes you think regular flexibles are prone to split?
