Product Information

Full details

This guide is for homeowners and plumbers seeking durable and reliable connections for kitchen and basin pipework. The key benefit is the high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction ensuring a long-lasting, leak-free installation. A potential caveat is the specific M10 connection type, which requires verification for compatibility with existing fixtures. These flexible pipe tails are designed for connecting standard sink or basin pipework to monobloc taps, featuring rust, corrosion, and lead-free materials with secure O-ring seals for a watertight fit.

FAQs

What type of tap connection do these pipe tails use?

These pipe tails feature an M10/10mm male connection on one end, designed to connect directly to monobloc taps with corresponding M10 inlets.

What is the connection size for the pipework side?

The pipework side has a loose nut female end with a standard UK 1/2” BSP fitting, compatible with most common sink and basin water supply pipes.

Are these pipe tails suitable for high water pressure?

Yes, the grade 304 stainless steel braiding and secure fittings are designed to handle standard household water pressures reliably.

Can I cut these flexible pipe tails to a specific length?

It is not recommended to cut the flexible pipe tails. Cutting can compromise the integrity of the braid and internal seals, potentially leading to leaks. They are designed to be used at their supplied length.

What material are the fittings made of?

The fittings are chrome-plated for durability and aesthetic appeal, while the hose itself is made from high-quality grade 304 stainless steel braiding.

How do I ensure a leak-free connection?

Ensure both ends are hand-tightened first, then appropriately tightened with a wrench (for the pipework end) or securely fastened (for the tap end), making sure rubber washers and O-rings are correctly in place and undamaged.

What does 'Rust, corrosion and lead-free' mean for me?

This means the materials used will not degrade over time, releasing harmful substances into your water supply, and will not rust or corrode, ensuring a long lifespan and maintaining water quality.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the M10 tap connection

Ensure the M10 male end is securely tightened onto the tap and that the O-ring is properly seated and not damaged. Re-tighten gently if necessary.

Leak at the 1/2” BSP pipework connection

Check that the rubber washer is correctly positioned inside the loose nut female end. Ensure the connection is hand-tightened sufficiently and then given an additional half to one turn with a wrench. Do not overtighten.

Pipe tail feels stiff or difficult to position

Gently flex the pipe tail into the desired position. Avoid sharp kinks or bends, which can damage the internal structure or braiding. If significant force is needed, re-evaluate the alignment of your tap and pipework.

Visible corrosion or damage on the pipe tail

Do not use a damaged pipe tail. Disconnect the water supply and replace the affected hose immediately to prevent leaks or further damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to grade 304 stainless steel construction.
  • Resistant to rust, corrosion, and lead, ensuring water safety.
  • Easy to install on standard UK pipework with clear connection types.
  • Secure O-ring seals prevent leaks at the tap connection.
  • Flexible design allows for easier maneuvering during installation.

Cons

  • Requires verification of M10 tap connection compatibility.
  • Not suitable for all types of plumbing systems without adapters.
  • Rubber washers may degrade over very long periods, potentially requiring replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These pipe tails are designed with a standard UK 1/2” BSP female fitting on one end, which connects to typical sink or basin pipework. The other end features an M10/10mm male connection, intended for monobloc taps with corresponding inlets. Always verify that your tap has M10 inlets and your pipework has 1/2” BSP female connections before purchasing.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply is turned off at the mains.
  2. Unscrew the old pipe tails or disconnect the existing supply lines.
  3. Hand-tighten the loose nut female end onto the basin or sink pipework, ensuring the rubber washer is seated correctly. Then, tighten a further half to one full turn with a wrench.
  4. Hand-tighten the M10 male end onto the corresponding inlet on the monobloc tap, ensuring the O-ring is in place. Do not overtighten.
  5. Turn the water supply back on and check carefully for any leaks at both connection points.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior of the pipe tails with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the chrome fittings or stainless steel braid.
  • Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leakage, especially after several years of use. Replace if any damage is observed.
