So .. I bought this new kitchen sink mixer tap..

Also I notice if you wished to have the original pipes a little further apart, as they really should have been installed, you could move the cold pipework to the right by say, 25mm or more by cutting the horizontal pipe where the earth clip roughly is and shortening it and also shorten the horizontal pipe where the iso valve is by same amount

Was trying to see if he needs any extra fittings before he cuts the pipes mate.

I was just leaving that problem to the OP.
He might need Male straights or adapters, plus the compression connectors and elbows I suggested.
That is the sort of job customers wonder why it takes me 2 hours to replace their tap.

First thing I would fit would be isolating valves if they aren't already fitted. Saves the missus whining the waters off.

He might use push fit connectors but on copper pipe its a good way out avoids hot works. centralheatking

Thanks for the reminder

He can use whatever he likes as far as I'm concerned but would still fit isolating valves.

Shouldn’t need hot works Rob.

Probably the OP would need to shorten the cold horizontal pipes to give space first for isolating valves.

RPM, - you are probably best to replace your missus before you begin to replace your tap. Saves the whining before and after.
