Tap Connector - Xcel Home - 22mm x 3/4" x 30Cm

While specific pressure ratings vary by manufacturer, flexible tap connectors like this are generally designed for standard domestic water pressures. Always consult the product packaging for detailed specifications if available. Avoid exceeding the pressure limits of the surrounding plumbing system.

Yes, the stainless steel braiding and brass fittings are typically suitable for both hot and cold water applications within standard domestic temperature ranges. Check product documentation for specific temperature limits.

Ensure the mating thread is clean. If it's a compression or taper thread, a quality thread seal tape (PTFE tape) is often recommended. For washered fittings, ensure the washer is present and in good condition. Hand-tighten first, then apply a final gentle turn with a wrench.

22mm is a common outer diameter for copper pipe in plumbing systems. 3/4" is a standard thread size used for connecting fixtures like taps, washing machines, and cisterns. This connector acts as an adapter between these two types of connections.

No, this connector is specifically designed for water supply lines only. It is not rated or safe for gas installations.

With proper installation and care, the stainless steel braided hose and brass fittings are designed for long-term durability and resistance to corrosion, typically lasting many years in domestic plumbing systems.

Check that the sealing washer is correctly seated or that plumber's tape was used and is properly applied. Hand-tighten further, then gently tighten with a wrench. Ensure the fitting is clean and free from debris.

This connector is designed for a 3/4" thread, not a 22mm threaded connection on the fixture side. If connecting to 22mm pipework, ensure it's properly integrated with a suitable 3/4" fitting on the appliance/tap side. If the 22mm refers to a compression fitting, ensure the compression nut and olive are correctly installed on the pipe.

While flexible, avoid excessive force or sharp bends that could kink the stainless steel braiding. Ensure there is adequate space for maneuvering. Gentle, sweeping curves are best.

Check for any kinks in the hose that may restrict flow. Ensure the internal diameter is not obstructed. Verify that the water supply pressure is adequate and not restricted elsewhere.
