Bath Supply pipes too short

baby_belling · 21 Feb 2011

hi there, I decided to do some DIY and fit my own bath, All went smoothly untill I needed to raise the height of the bath to match the panel, then I noticed that the flexi tap connectors that fed the old bath are too short, out by approx 1inch, is there any type of adaptor that i could fit over the tap tails to make them reach or possibley connect 2 flexi tap pipes together somehow as I dont want to buy a longer flexi and mess around with re-fitting the compression joint etc any ideas welcome.

is it only 1" or longer as you don't want to have flexis that are sretched to the limit.

you can use to 2 brass tap extensions if the gaps not to big.

or buy 2 longer flexis yours are more likely 300mm long
you can get 500mm, 900mm ones.

yes if that is enough without pulling the flexis to the limit.

drop the bath and cut the panel or buy 3/4" Female adaptor x 22mm copper they will take up the diff dont join 2 flexis as they will kink and reduce flow

Flexis will reduce flow anyway, sometimes by quite a lot, chuck the nasty things in the bin and do it properly with copper pipework
