Hi, first time post on this site.
I am replacing an existing kitchen sink, and current connection for the tap tail is solder joint to a T connection, that also then feeds the main supply to the tank (and also directly connects to mains inlet).
The current connection is too messy to just cut out and replace with a T compression joint (I think I will end up having to cut back the tank feed and inserting additional connectors), so I am considering cutting the existing tail a few centimeters above the existing T joint, and using a flexible connector directly to the remaining piece of the old tail. This means I can leave other pipework untouched.
Are there any draw backs to this approach?
Skills fall short of soldering, so compression or push fit the options available to me.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
