Product Information

Full details

These Heable flexi pipe connectors are designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a durable and reliable plumbing solution for kitchen and basin installations. Their key benefit lies in the premium 304 stainless steel construction, offering excellent resistance to rust and corrosion for long-term use. A potential caveat is the specific M10 x 1/2 inch BSP fitting, which requires confirmation of compatibility with your existing fixtures. The pack includes two 70 cm long, silver-finished flexi tails with standard UK G1/2 fittings for straightforward connection to most taps.

FAQs

What material are these flexi pipes made from?

They are crafted from premium grade 304 stainless steel, known for its durability and resistance to rust and corrosion.

What size are the fittings on these flexi tails?

The tap end has an M10 fitting, and the water supply end has a standard UK G1/2 inch BSP fitting.

How long are these flexi pipes?

This specific pack contains flexi tails that are 70 cm in length.

Can these be used for hot and cold water?

Yes, 304 stainless steel is suitable for both hot and cold water applications in domestic plumbing.

Are these connectors safe for drinking water?

Yes, the material is lead-free, ensuring it is safe for potable water supply.

How should I clean the flexi pipes?

Wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents.

What does 'flexi pipe connector' mean?

A flexi pipe connector, or flexi tail, is a flexible hose used to connect plumbing fixtures like taps to the main water supply lines. They allow for easier installation and can accommodate slight misalignments.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the connection point

Ensure the connection is securely tightened. Check that the rubber washer (if applicable, usually integrated into the fitting) is present and undamaged. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the fitting or washer.

Connector does not fit

Verify that your tap outlet is an M10 thread and your water valve is a G1/2 inch BSP fitting. These connectors are specific and may not be compatible with non-standard fittings.

Reduced water flow

Ensure the flexi pipe is not kinked or severely bent, which can restrict flow. Check that the isolation valves are fully open.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to 304 stainless steel construction.
  • Resistant to rust, corrosion, and lead, ensuring water safety and product longevity.
  • Standard UK G1/2 fitting simplifies installation with most plumbing systems.
  • Provides a reliable and secure water connection.

Cons

  • The M10 x 1/2 inch BSP connection requires specific compatibility checks.
  • Fixed length of 70 cm may not suit all installation scenarios.
  • Comes as a pack of two, which might be unnecessary if only one is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply is turned off at the mains.
  2. Unscrew the old flexi pipe connector from both the tap and the isolation valve (stopcock).
  3. Screw the new Heable flexi tail onto the tap's threaded outlet (M10 fitting). Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn if needed, being careful not to overtighten.
  4. Connect the other end of the flexi tail to the corresponding water supply valve (G1/2 fitting). Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn.
  5. Turn the water supply back on slowly and check for any leaks at both connection points.

Compatibility:

  • The M10 end is designed to connect to the tap's water inlet. Verify that your tap has an M10 thread.
  • The G1/2 inch BSP end is designed for standard UK water supply valves. This is the most common size for domestic plumbing in the UK.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior of the flexi pipes with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the stainless steel surface.
  • Periodically check connections for tightness and inspect the flexi pipe for any signs of wear or damage, especially if exposed to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures.
