What is a 15mm x 3/4″ Flexible Tap Connector used for?
A 15mm x 3/4″ flexible tap connector is a specialized plumbing hose used primarily for bath installations. While washbasins typically use 1/2″ connections, bath taps require the larger 3/4″ BSP thread to accommodate the higher flow rates needed to fill a bathtub efficiently. This 300mm “Serpent” hose provides a flexible bridge between your rigid 15mm supply pipes and the tap tails.
Why Professionals Choose the Serpent Range
At ECO HEAT SHOP, we recommend the Serpent brand for its superior “memory” and kink resistance. In the cramped, often obstructed spaces under a bathtub, standard flexible hoses can easily twist or collapse, leading to a significant drop in water pressure. The Serpent’s reinforced Grade 304 stainless steel weave is engineered to hold its shape under pressure, ensuring your bath fills at maximum speed every time without the risk of internal occlusion.
Technical Precision: Compression x Swivel Design
This connector simplifies the most difficult part of bathroom plumbing:
-
The 15mm Compression End: Securely attaches to your copper or plastic supply pipe using the included nut and olive—no soldering or solvent required.
-
The 3/4″ Swivel Nut: The female threaded end features a free-spinning nut. This allows you to tighten the connection onto the bottom of the bath tap without the hose itself rotating, protecting the internal seals and ensuring a 100% watertight joint.
