A Flexible Tap Connector is a vital plumbing component used to connect your domestic water supply to your taps. Unlike traditional rigid copper pipes, this 400mm braided hose can be bent and maneuvered, making it significantly easier to install sinks, basins, and toilets—especially in cramped “under-sink” environments. This specific model features a 12.7mm (1/2 inch) compression fitting on one end and a swivel nut on the other, covering the most common UK plumbing requirements.
At ECO HEAT SHOP LTD, we prioritize safety and longevity. Our connectors are wrapped in a high-tensile stainless steel braid. This outer layer protects the inner non-toxic rubber hose from expanding under high pressure or “kinking,” which can restrict water flow. The braided design also offers superior protection against accidental impacts and corrosion, ensuring your plumbing remains maintenance-free for years to reach.
When installing your 12.7mm flexible tap connector, it is important not to over-tighten the swivel nut, as this can crush the internal rubber washer and cause leaks. The compression end should be tightened until the olive firmly grips the copper pipe. Because this hose is 400mm long, it provides enough “slack” to allow for easy tap maintenance in the future without having to drain the entire system.
