FAQs

What is the internal diameter of these pipes?

The internal diameter of the TradeProvider Flexi Pipes is 9.8mm.

Are these pipes suitable for hot and cold water?

Yes, these pipes are designed for use with both hot and cold water supplies.

What material are the end fittings made of?

The end fittings are made of brass.

How long is the warranty period?

The TradeProvider Flexi Pipes come with a 5-year warranty.

Can I use these for gas connections?

No, these pipes are specifically designed for water connections only and should not be used for gas.

How do I clean the exterior of the pipes?

You can clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What does '10M x 1/2' fitting' mean?

This typically refers to a male thread fitting with a 1/2 inch diameter, commonly used for connecting to tap tails or water supply valves.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the tap connection

Ensure the 'O' ring is present and correctly seated. Try tightening the fitting slightly. If the leak persists, the 'O' ring or the fitting itself may be damaged, and the pipe may need replacement.

Leak at the supply valve connection

Check that the fitting is securely tightened onto the valve. Ensure the valve's sealing washer is intact. If the valve thread is damaged, it may need to be replaced.

Water flow is low

Ensure the water supply valves are fully open. Check that the flexi pipes are not kinked or severely bent. Remove and inspect the ends of the pipes for any debris or obstructions.

Fitting does not screw onto the tap or valve

Verify the thread size. The 1/2" fitting may not be compatible with your specific tap or valve. Ensure you are trying to connect to the correct male or female thread.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to stainless steel construction.
  • Flexible design simplifies installation in tight spaces.
  • Lead-free and rust-proof materials ensure water safety and product longevity.
  • Standard fittings provide wide compatibility with most taps.
  • Comes with a reassuring 5-year warranty.

Cons

  • The 10M fitting may not be compatible with all older or non-standard tap models.
  • 600mm length might be too long for very small sink areas, potentially leading to clutter.
  • Requires basic plumbing knowledge for installation to avoid leaks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

These flexi pipes feature a 10M x 1/2" fitting, which is standard for most modern kitchen mixer taps and sink connections in many regions. The 'M' typically refers to a male thread, and '1/2"' is the diameter. Always verify the thread size on your existing tap tails and water supply valves before purchase to ensure a proper fit.

Setup:

  1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve or the individual hot and cold water stopcocks under the sink and turn them off completely.
  2. Remove old pipes: Disconnect the old flexible hoses from both the tap tails and the water supply valves.
  3. Prepare new pipes: Ensure the rubber 'O' ring is correctly seated in the fitting that connects to the tap tail.
  4. Connect to tap: Screw the 1/2" end of the TradeProvider Flexi Pipe onto the tap tail. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a snug fit, being careful not to overtighten.
  5. Connect to supply: Connect the other end of the flexi pipe to the corresponding water supply valve (hot to hot, cold to cold). Hand-tighten, then snug with a wrench.
  6. Turn on water: Slowly turn the water supply back on and check carefully for any leaks at both connection points.

Care:

These flexi pipes are designed for minimal maintenance. Regularly check connections for any signs of wear or leakage. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the stainless steel finish.
