Hi Guys,
My sink is knackered, I managed to do a bodge repair with Silicone but need to replace it. Whilst I'm there I'll be replacing the tap and adding isolation valves.
I've watched some videos and I THINK I know what to do, but I wondered if you nice folk could tell me if I've missed something and got the order right?
1)Pipe slice the 2 copper pipes (after turning the water off and turning taps on to drain!) and fit the isolation valves that I've bought https://www.toolstation.com/jg-speedfit-isolating-valve/p12212
2)Remove tap nut and undo the copper joints and remove tap
3)Undo the waste connections, undo screws and clips and finally remove the sink
4)Drill tap hole into the sink, place sink in the work surface, Tighten screws and clips, reconnect waste.
5)Attach flexihoses to tap, place tap into sink and tighten the tap nut and connect flexi tails to copper joints. Silicone round the sink, turn water on and hope it doesn't leak.
A few questions I had
-Do I need to PTFE tape anywhere other than copper joint to flexihoses?
-Will flexihoses attach directly to the copper joints that are there no or do I need any adaptor?
All pipes are 15mm and this is the sink I have bought with a tap (its the same size, manufacturer and style as the old one) https://www.shipitappliances.com/pa...ctonite-kitchen-sink-and-clearwater-creta-tap
Cheers
