  • Clue is in the description - inlet = 1/2" BSP. 
    So you need flexis with 1/2" BSP tap connector one end, and compression fitting (almost certainly 15 mm) the other, perhaps with isolation / service valves built in.  
    Better done with copper hard piped to the inlets, with soldered on 1/2" BSP x 15 mm tap connectors.  If doing that, don't forget the fibre washer.

    Still advisable to fit isolation valves. Saves no end of hassle if/when the taps need servicing or replacing. The valves are not expensive, so worth doing.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    It looks like they both have 1/2" inlets so you need a flexy 1/2" female to whatever size pipe you are attaching them to. Some mixers do come with smaller tail pipes but it looks like these are standard 1/2". Some continental mixers come with a 1/2" female flexy to complicate things.

    I don’t think you need full bore for this application. Obviously, full bore is better, but it is not worth spending a lot more on.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
