Description
What is a 15mm x 12.7mm Flexible Tap Connector used for?
A Flexible Tap Connector is a specialized plumbing hose used to link the main water supply (typically 15mm copper or PEX) to your taps or toilets (typically 12.7mm or 1/2 inch BSP). The “Serpent” range is renowned for its high-tensile strength and flexibility, making it the preferred choice for UK installers working in restricted spaces where rigid piping is impractical.
Why Choose the Serpent Braided Hose?
At ECO HEAT SHOP LTD, we understand that a leak under the sink can cause thousands of pounds in damage. That’s why our Serpent connectors are wrapped in a high-density stainless steel braid. This outer “armor” prevents the internal hose from expanding or bursting under high-pressure surges, common in modern unvented heating systems. The internal EPDM liner is WRAS-standard quality, ensuring your water remains clean and free from “rubbery” tastes or odors.
Step-by-Step Installation Advantage
This 15mm x 12.7mm x 300mm connector simplifies your workflow.
-
The 15mm Compression end slides directly onto your supply pipe—just tighten the nut to compress the olive for a permanent seal.
-
The 12.7mm (1/2″) Swivel end screws onto your tap tail. Because it is a “swivel” nut, the hose won’t twist or kink as you tighten it, preserving the structural integrity of the internal core.
