advice on fitting a new tap

[Kev1875]

Hello can anyone advise how to connect a new tap with flexi pipe to the speed fit connection in the attached photo? The flexi pipe connection is smaller, would it be a reducing coupling?

I’d cut the copper pipe install isolation valves and reduce it after.

Some pictures of the new tap hoses would help.

Thanks, basically the copper pipe is attached to current taps which would be replaced by the flexi pipe that i've attached.

Do you have a hot water cylinder with a big tank in the loft?

No, combi boiler system

But If you cut the copper and install isolation valves you can install the flexible pipe on to the isolation valve.

.... taking care not to overtighten and cut the flat rubber washer in the flexi nut - not much more than hand tight. The iso valves sharp face tends to do this where the flat face of the hep suggested won't.

I've noticed recently at my suppliers, they sell iso valves with flat end male threads which overcome this problem of attaching flexi's to std iso valve sharp face. Should be able to source on the 'tinternet'

I wouldn’t recommend that. But that’s just my personal opinion.
