Kitchen tap replacement flexi hose connections
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.25 PM
I am trying to replace my monobloc tap with another but the flexi hose fitting are different. The new monobloc tap flexi hoses have a tightening nuts but the current tap flexi hoses have some kind of push in fitting that connects directly over the copper inlet water pipes with no nut. Not sure what to do
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

You will need 1/2 inch male irons to connect the flexi to the pipe

If the pipes don't have service valve, I think it's worth fitting 2isolating valve then you'll be able to connect the flexi nuts with the valves

Take the tap tails for new tap into tool station or Screwfix and they will give you appropriate fittings

It sounds like you have push-fit hoses on your current taps, you have 2 options here, either try and source some new push-fit hoses for your new tap or buy isolation valves (I assume 15mm) and fit them to the current copper pipework, Remove the upper nut and olive from the isolation valve and your new tap hoses should affix to the thread of the isolation valve
