Hi
I need some help with tap connections to water. I am replacing two single hole taps with one 2 hole tap. Following instructions/forum threads on this site I managed to unscrew old taps and attach new tap on to the sync.
Now i need to connect it to water supply I purchased flexi tap connectors of a right size (22mm on one end and 15mm on the other side) 22mm fits fine i can attach it to the taps no problems.
But i cant attach other end on to the isolation valve.
I have searched eBay screwfix and other internet shops and i cannot find flexi hose that 22mm on one end and 15 mil on the other and both can be screwed on, one on to the tap and the other on to isolation valve.
I am not sure how to attach pictures hereso details of the items here:
Flexi hose tap same as (screwfix 22170)
Isolation valve looks exactly like (screwfix product code 46860)
Any advice please.

Either remove your existing iso valve and fit new flexi with iso valve.
or
Leave existing iso valve add a small section of copper pipe and fit flexi's Flexi Hose
 
Why could you not use the original connections?

The new sync (sic) mixer tap tails would be the same length as the old.

If it's a sink mixer why have you got a 15mm x 3/4" flexi? Sink mixers are 1/2".

3/4 x 1/2" swivel both ends flexis are available, but would be expensive.
 
Thanks for the reply.

Well new tap have 3/4 tails. Old one had 15 mil not sure why. Can you please tell me where i can get "3/4 x 1/2" swivel both ends flexis". I can seem to find those on the internet.

You won't find them, they would be bespoke, i.e. made specially.

As previously, get a 15mm x 3/4" with integral iso. About £5 retail.

Still can't understand why a sink mixer is 3/4" tails. It is a sink mixer, isn't it?
