Plumbing wrench ?

[CountryFan]

I wonder if the monument adjustable one would work, failing that armed jaw dropper or crows foot type obtaining the correct size.

As I said above.
Adjustable spring basin wrench.
It's probably the easiest of everything.
Maybe you're thinking about a adjustable wrench? No .. not that.
Never get that in

No suitable size .

No suitable size .

What about the Monument one or Armeg jaw dropper?

There are plenty of a available wrenches.
This one for example will tackle a 50mm nut.

No room to turn that .

Why do the flexi tails need to be fitted first? Don't they have o-rings? If yes, can't you tighten them by hand after the event?

BTW, as you know, I am not a plumber. Best of luck.

@foxhole

Would need to be the correct size box spanner then.

Measure and find out the size required.

Backnut Spanner

Fits 50mm A/F and 46mm A/F brass and nylon nutsNB: Some modern waste backnuts are slightly larger than 50mm and will need filing to fit and nut must be hexagonal not octagonal

The tails have to pass thru the nut , washer, the loose threaded tube and sink before the tails screw into tap base while above the sink, then tightened and threaded sleeve tightens over the tails .
No a great design .
Had same problem with kitchen sink but was able to fit prior to sink install so less of a problem .
