Hi folks

Really daft question here but what tap connectors are you all using?

I’ve picked up a couple of end feed with fibre washers today and the washers didn’t fit. Just would not fit over the little spigot that sits just inside the tap.

I ended up using different washers which were baggy and not sealing to good.

These were 3/4” for bath taps. Flexis were out of the question as that was what had blown.

Cheers
 
Endfeed tap connectors with hep20 washers
 
I use polypipe tap connectors as its a million times easier to use them in tight positions and don't need as much torque, done the same for tank connectors (although fitting these are few and far between nowadays!)

If its a pedastal basin with twin taps and I can't use flexis I'll use soldered with fibre washers

Fibre washers and endfeed connectors.
If the washer won’t go on the spigot- spend a few seconds with a rat’s tail file whizzing around the inside of the fibre washer.

Was just going to ask if anyone now uses the flat hep20 washers when connecting 62 tap connectors instead of the fibres. As it difficult to get a good fit

Hep20 tap connector washer
Hello, I’ve used the hep20 tap connectors a few years back when I did. C&G plumbing course. I brought a few the other day and in the packet was a loose washer (not the tap flat washer). Can anyone tell me what it is used. I’m using copper pipe btw. Regards Tezzer
