Our bath Monoblok bath tap has soldered fixed tails but I know from the effort of removing it that it would be much better if I could use flexible tails but I am unsure if this is possible - this is an example of what is on there now https://www.bathroomspareparts.co.u...nlet-tail-220mm-x-15mm-a960133nu-11359-p.asp#


I had a lot of hassle getting to the nuts due to the overflow which I couldn’t get out because of the pipes themselves. The pipe are front and back rather than at each side of the tap which minimises the available space.

If anybody could point me towards something it would be appreciated- I have tried googling but unable to see anything but that may just be my lack of knowledge

TIA

That is a weird size not BSP either, you can get 15mm to 15mm comp hoses you might be able to cut the pipe short and use one of those.

TBH at the cost of £60 for replacements I may see if I can manage!! If not I will shorten the legs and compression fit elbows - the pipes are that close that I will have to stagger them. I’ll be able to tell once I’m putting it all back together- and this started off with redoing the sealant
