What is a 15mm x 19.05mm Flexible Tap Connector used for?
A Flexible Tap Connector with a 15mm to 19.05mm (3/4 inch) configuration is a specialized plumbing fitting. While standard washbasin taps typically use 1/2 inch connections, larger bath filler taps and household appliances like washing machines often require the higher flow rate provided by a 3/4 inch (19.05mm) BSP thread. This 300mm Serpent hose bridges that gap perfectly, allowing you to connect a standard 15mm supply pipe directly to your high-flow fixtures.
Why Choose Serpent Braided Technology?
At ECO HEAT SHOP LTD, we advocate for “Serpent” connectors because of their superior build quality. The internal core is made from high-density EPDM rubber, which is then encased in a tightly woven stainless steel braid. This construction is essential for modern high-pressure systems, as it prevents the hose from expanding or failing under the “water hammer” effect often caused by fast-acting appliance valves.
Professional Tips for a Secure Connection
When installing this 15mm x 19.05mm x 300mm connector, ensure the 15mm copper pipe is cut clean and square before sliding on the compression nut and olive. For the 19.05mm swivel end, always check that the rubber washer is seated correctly before hand-tightening, followed by a quarter-turn with a spanner. Because this hose is 300mm long, it offers excellent flexibility for routing around floor joists or under-bath supports.
