Fitting a new kitchen tap

Hi

we have just bought a new tap for the kitchen but im not a plumber and have no idea on any plumbing but looking at the old tap from underneath it doesnt seem too hard too fit.

i was thinking of getting flexi pipes to make the job easier for me and for the furture also.

i have seen a number of pipes at screw fix but have no idea which end the new tap is. 1/2" or 3/4"

the exisiting copper pipe is around 15mm i think as its quite small.

can anyone recommend me a pipe from the following page.

and give me any tips of what to keep in mind when fitting the new tap.


thanks
