Hi, I'm wanting to fit a set of brass mixer taps to a kitchen in our holiday home to replace a set that had begun to leak. The thing is that the outgoing taps have 10mm threads for the flexible tail connectors and the ingoing have 12mm threaded holes. I'd like to use the existing 10mm connectors as they look new. Is there such a thing as brass reducers from 12mm to 10mm?

Such things may well exist, but why even bother looking?
It's likely any adaptor would be too bulky to fit underneath the tap.
Even if they did fit, they would probably cost more than new flexibles.
The old ones are clearly not new even if they 'look new', and what would be the cost incurred if they leak or burst next month?
Just buy some new ones for £3.89 and do the job properly.

Hi,
Thanks, I take your point I didnt realise they were such good value, is that link right though? the threaded bore diameter is 12mm, they look like 8?
