Hi folks
I've searched Screwfix plumbing pages and could do with some help with parts.
I'm changing the taps on the tiny downstairs wash basin. The new taps don't quite line up with the old ones.
HOWEVER- the elbow tap connectors are soldered on at the point they come through the wall no spare pipe to work with.
I'd hoped to get a Flexi tap connector with a male end to fit on existing tap connector.
Do they exist? Any ideas please. Thank you.

Its a real bodge, but assuming the existing taps are 1/2" BSP shanks, you could try:

1. 2 off 1/2" nipple. Screwfix 71087.
2. 2 off 1/2" x 1/2" flexible hose. Screwfix 50739.
3. 2 off 1/2" tap connector washers. Screwfix 1109J (pack of 5)

You'd need to make sure that the flexible hoses could be fitted without sharp bends or kinks. They could be looped in a gentle circle, but you might need longer ones to do this.
 
Thank you those parts look good. Yes headroom under the basin is tight so looping longer ones hopefully will do it. They'll have to be a design feature!!!!
