Hi All,
Having a spot of bother "plumbing my way out of a paper bag" so to speak...
Please see 3 pics attached.
Ordered a tap off eBay - tap all good.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Dune-Mono-Mixe ... 0005.m1851
But the 50 cm flexi hoses are useless. Please see marked picture where they are leaking. Perhaps it's my method of fitting them?
On first attempt I had no luck connecting directly to 15 mm isolating valve (rusty water(!) but no leaks) - https://www.screwfix.com/p/isolating-va ... pack/65251
So used some tap adaptors from Screwfix - https://www.screwfix.com/p/flexible-tap ... pack/2665r
Got the tap supplier from eBay to send 2 new flexi hoses (due to rusty water) free of charge. No rusty water but now both leaking from the same place marked in picture.
I like the fact that both sets of flexi hoses supplied have 2 O-rings.
What is the best/reliable method to connect the tap without leaks? Struggling here I admit!
