Description
What is a Serpent Flexible Connector used for?
A Serpent flexible connector is a high-specification plumbing hose used to bridge the gap between 15mm copper or plastic supply pipes and 1/2″ BSP tap threads. At 300mm in length, it is the perfect “mid-reach” solution for bathroom basins and kitchen sinks where a standard rigid pipe would be too difficult to align.
Why Choose the Serpent Brand for Your Plumbing?
At ECO HEAT SHOP, we recommend Serpent connectors because of their enhanced structural integrity. Standard flexible hoses can sometimes “kink” or collapse internally if bent too tightly, restricting water pressure. The Serpent range features a tighter, higher-density stainless steel weave over a non-toxic EPDM rubber core, allowing it to maintain its full bore even in the most cramped vanity units or behind pedestals.
Dual-Action Fitting: Compression x Swivel
This connector is designed to be a “fit-and-forget” solution:
-
The 15mm Compression End: Comes complete with a nut and olive, ready to be tightened directly onto your 15mm supply pipe.
-
The 1/2″ Swivel Nut: The female threaded end allows you to screw the connector onto the tap tail without the hose twisting or rotating. This protects the internal seals from stress and ensures a 100% watertight joint every time.
