monoblock tap fitting help please

[den9112]

Hi, i have a vanity unit fixed and ready to accept the sink, i have the flexi tails , what i would like to know is can i fit the flexis to the taps via the horseshoe connectors and fixing bolt tighten them with a spanner then drop them in to the unit or do they only need to be hand tight . Its seems obvious to do the pipes and fitting before i drop the sink in i know just thought i would find out before i fit it. Thanks

i always fit the flexis then fit tap to basin then fit basin to vanity unit.

How tight would you go with the flexis in to the tap , i dont want to damage the o rings if you only need to be hand tight.
