Which Flexi connector to use
Hi folks, apologies if this is a simple question. I have fitted myself a bath before and somehow I luckily ended up getting the right bits and it hasnt leaked yet! I need to fit a bath in my new house and was wandering what flexi connectors I need to connect to the taps. I know the 15 and 22mm relates to the pipe size, but not sure what the bore is. Which do i need to connect my 15mm pipe to bath taps, they do all these??:
15mm x 1/2" 10mm 15mm x 1/2" 13mm 15mm x 3/4" 13mm 15mm x 15mm Stand Pipe 13mm Bore 15mm x 15mm speedfit 13mm Bore 22mm x 3/4" 13mm Bore thanks in advance Tom |

Re: Which Flexi connector to use
thanks for that mate, wasn't sure if it was for the tap connector size. Are basin taps 1/2 then?
and whats the difference between 15mm x 1/2" 10mm 15mm x 1/2" 13mm ?? cheers Tom |

Re: Which Flexi connector to use
15mm x 1/2" 10mm
15mm = Size of Pipe 1/2" = size of taps 10mm = Size of Flexi Pipe The difference between the two that you mentioned is the bore of the flexi pipe, the bigger the better as a smaller bore will increase resistance and therefore reduce pressure. Yes basin taps are 1/2" |
