FAQs

What is the primary material of these flexible tap tails?

The Heable flexible tap tails are constructed from high-grade 304 stainless steel.

What are the thread sizes for these connectors?

The connectors have an M10 fitting for the tap connection and a 1/2 Inch BSP fitting for the water supply connection. The included tap tails are G1/2.

Are these connectors suitable for hot and cold water?

Yes, these connectors are suitable for both hot and cold water supply lines.

What is the length of the flexible pipes?

The flexible pipes are 600mm long. The included tap tails are 1000mm long.

Are these connectors safe to use with drinking water?

Yes, they are made from 304 stainless steel and are lead-free, making them safe for potable water systems.

How do I prevent leaks when installing?

Ensure all connections are hand-tightened first, then snugged with a wrench. Do not overtighten. Check for leaks after turning the water back on.

Can I cut the flexible pipe to a shorter length?

It is not recommended to cut the flexible pipes, as this can compromise the integrity of the sealing mechanism. Use the appropriate length for your installation.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the connection point

Ensure the fitting is snug. Re-seat the washer if present. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the fitting or washer.

Water flow is restricted

Check that the flexible hose is not kinked or severely bent. Ensure the tap tails are fully open and the isolation valves are not partially closed.

Connector does not fit tap tail

Verify the M10 thread specification on the tap and the connector. Ensure you are not trying to force an incompatible thread size.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior longevity and durability due to 304 stainless steel.
  • High resistance to rust, corrosion, and lead contamination.
  • Standard UK fittings (G1/2) for wide compatibility.
  • Easy installation process for both professionals and DIYers.
  • Safe and reliable water supply connection.

Cons

  • M10 connection may not be universal for all tap types.
  • Requires careful measurement to ensure 600mm length is sufficient.
  • The 1000mm tap tails might be longer than necessary for some compact installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply is turned off at the mains or isolation valves before starting.
  2. Connect the M10 end of the flexible pipe to the corresponding threaded tail on the tap.
  3. Connect the 1/2" BSP fitting to the water supply outlet (e.g., isolation valve). Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a snug fit, being careful not to overtighten.
  4. Repeat for the hot and cold water connections.
  5. Turn on the water supply slowly and check for leaks.

Compatibility:

  • The M10 fitting is designed for specific tap connections. Verify your tap's thread size.
  • The 1/2" BSP fitting is a standard size for most UK plumbing connections, including isolation valves and stopcocks.
  • The included 1000mm tap tails are also standard UK G1/2 fittings.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check connections for tightness and signs of wear or leaks.
