Hi,
I've just joined up after getting some excellent DIY tips here
We are looking to fit a wall tap mixer into a stud wall and want to make sure we get it right as it will be plastered up from both sides.
The mixer bit that will be hidden in the wall looks like it can be connected with flexi hose which we have. But how do we make sure it is watertight...
Do I just wrap PTFE tape around before screwing in or am I using the wrong connection by using flex hose?
the hot and cold 'holes' to screw into seems rather deep and the flexi hoses screw right in - I've even dropped in an olive but it does even get to that.
I've attached some images
