in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
Hi, 
I bought this from plumbworld, but ig doesnt have the flexible tap connection to fit it. I have tried to do an online chat with the retailer but its unavailable and reading the specifications I cant see if one was included.
Anyone know what size I should get?
I intend to order one and not do unnecessary shopping.
Thanks in advance and stay safe and well.

    According to the other images, you should have a flexible hose included, along with a shower head, two each of chrome washers, black washers, and top hat washers.

    Thanks, that's everything that was with the order.
    What I was looking for is the flexible hoses that can be used to connect to the water supply. Not sure what size I need to order.
    I cant get through on the phone, I was hoping I could order them and use them rather than a plumber.
    Thanks

    I assume OP means the flexi connections to fit to the mains water, it only comes with a shower hose.  You need 3/4" tap connections, something like this https://www.screwfix.com/p/flexible-tap-connector-with-valve-22mm-x-x-300mm/6694g

    Or if the pipes under the bath are 15mm, https://www.screwfix.com/p/flexible-hose-with-valve-15mm-x-x-300mm/1460g would be better.

    You may not believe it, but one is 15mm and the other 22mm. 
    Thanks again for the help.

    Depending on the age of your plumbing, the 22mm pipe could in fact be 3/4" - I certainly have a mix of imperial copper (and lead) pipes and modern metric pipes. Going from 1/2" to 15mm isn't a problem, but anything involving the 3/4" pipes can be challenging.

    Doesn't the installation guide say what size of fitting it requires. My guess would be 3/4".

    No, it says can be fitted conventionally or using flexible hoses. Doesnt give a size. I googled to see if I could get some further information but couldn't. 
    The basin tap, has them. 
    I have ordered 3/4 ones.
    Thanks again for everyone's helpful advice.
