Hi all.
I volunteered to fit a new monoblock basin tap for a friend.
The ends of the flexi tails look like 3/8ths so I picked up some 3/8ths to 15mm compression reducers. Unfortunately the 3/8ths end is too big to screw into the end of the flexi pipes
The product description on Amazon says that it is supplied with a couple of 3/8ths to 1/2" convertors. They weren't in the box. And besides, who uses 1/2" pipe work these days?
I took the 3/8ths connectors back to the plumbers' merchants. They do not sell anything smaller.
Is it possible that a 8mm to 15mm will work. By my maths, 3/8ths is 9.5mm so I assume that a 10mm to 15mm reducer will be too big.
The tap shipped with the tails already attached, I haven't checked to see if the tails can be removed/replaced. I'd rather not go down the route of replacing the flexi pipes if I can just use a compression reducer.
Thanks in advance.
