Ok. So. Im trying to fit a fancy new tap. To fit it will be easy. I think. Its just that the flexipipe that is there from the copper is in a REALLY hard place to get a spanner on. Litrelly. hard!!

So i was thinking, cant i just connect new ones to the one with the tap? But it would be female to female.

Is there a thing such as a little connector. A couple inches long that will connect female to female. (A double ended male join?)

I cant just use the existing flexi to the tap. As thats female to female end to end. Whereas the tap, has a big end and a small end (small end going to the tap)

Anybody? Im looking for a way to connect 2 female big flexipipes together

OR a pipe that is big male to monobloc (the tap bit)
 
Half inch brass nipple or two male irons and a 15mm piece of copper to join.

PTFE applied to that fitting will do fook all as the flexis are swivel nuts......:)
 
I see a thred. I ptfe it. Pahah im a diyer. Can you tell? Cheers tho!!! Il have to put up a piccy of the nice tap i got when ive done it tomorrow.
 
Don't use PTFE on the nipple, the threads don't make the seal. You would more likely
end up with leaks.
