How to connect to copper tail?

Even with flexis, the socket I posted an image of is leaking everywhere.

I think safest option would be to use the copper tails, with Jet Blue mentioned above, with the flexis going round the bend. I will try this after work once I get to screwfix to get some Jet Blue.

Do the job properly
  1. Turn off mains.
  2. Remove the isolation valves from the two copper pipes
  3. Extend the copper pipes so they go closer to the tap holes so that your flexis can reach (by soldering or pushfit)
  4. Put new isolators on the extended pipes
  5. Connect your flexis
PS no need to use ptfe if you do it properly

Some of the pros on this forum purposefully lead you down a garden path. Watch out!
