I am in need of an extremely long flexi? my Russian client has asked to have her aquaflush on the side of the wall. so am needing around 750.ml. also, for some reason on the aqua fill it is a 1/2 inch bsp. so I need a 22mm flex with 1/2 inch tap connector. is there such a thing?

 

[Guest123]

You can get the horrible things up to a metre in length and they are available as 22mm x 1/2". Last time I used one was on an animal trough in a farm. Poor wee cows have a hell of a life having to drink water from that and then get made into burgers. Not good.

Can't it be done in plastic? I don't like the idea of a rubber hose buried somewhere with little or no access.

I just want to be able to pull rhe bath out, tighten it and push it back it. A trough hey, drastic wasting a good flexi on one of those. So where do I purchase one of these metre long hoses? Plumb centre maybe? I bet it,s not cheap! Also, the Client does not want any plastic in the flat. She specifically said all copper.

Screw Fix sell them for about £4.

WRAS Hose 22mm x 3/4in x 1000mm x 13mm | NoLinkingToThis

Use a reducer to connect to 1/2"if you get this one

B&Q sell them.

B&Q sell them.

B&Q, Screw Fix are the same company and sell the same products, only the former is much dearer.

 

[mutley racers]

Thanks system. All this time I have been going to plumbfix and I didn't know they sold meter long ones.

Stani, do they sell the ones that go 3/4 to 1/2 inch and a meter long?

All you need to do is connect the 3/4 end to a 22mm x 1/2 compression tap adaptor which will reduce it.

Be aware that all these flexy hoses only have a 13mm internal bore.

I picked 2 up one sundayafternoon for an emergency call out but they were 1/2". X 15mm so not really sure mate sorry. And they were for a pressure vessel to an unvented cylinder. Suppose you could get 3/4. X 1/2 adaptor and do it that way.

The other thing is there are more B&Q's than screw fix branches.

 

[mutley racers]

To be honest, i have never seen a 22mm to 15mm tap adaptor before! I was thinking of using a 3/4 to 1/2 inch brass bush. Would prefer the reducing tap adaptor though. I know it only has 13mm bore but the aqua fill only has a 15mm connection. Not sure what else I can do to be honest.

Thanks stani. B&Q is just that hey, Emergencies

 

[stani]

Agreed mate, they are there for emergencies when all others are shut. The customer pays for the part wether its £1 or £5 it doesn't come out of our pocket.

Here's a pic of one:

Get them from any plumbers merchants.

 

[mutley racers]

wow, that is what I need!!! Not liking the orice that much though. for £20. I guess, it is the client who pays.

Plumbers merchants is where am off to in the morning.

Thanks guys.

Some great help

 

[Guest123]

£20 is for a pack of 5 mate. They should only cost a couple of pound each including the fibre washers if you buy them from a plumbers merchants.

 

[stani]

I remember a pack of three for 2/6 .
