Kitchen tap plumbing

MSaxp

Hello,

Hopefully a simple question.

I bought a new kitchen tap to replace the old one.

It came with flexible connectors, ending in a female screw. The piping is standard (10 or 15mm?) plastic piping.

The old tap is connected via non flexible copper connectors, connected to the plastic piping via push fit couplings.

I'm assuming I can get rid of the copper pipes and get straight from the plastic pipes to the flexi connectors. However, I can only find metallic compression couplings to connect to the piping, while I expected plastic ones.

Am I making a mistake somewhere?

Thank you

You have 2 options either do it as suggested using the flexi hose you have onto compression fittings or

plastic flexi hoses straight to the plastic

Personally would go the first route
