Hi guys

I have a 22mm pipe for the hot/cold to the bath. I have a 22mm -> 15mm flexi pipe that connects to the bath taps. The taps have been a frequent cause for leaks, I have tried nipping the nut up, using PTFE tape and a new washer but the connection still leaks. The leak is originating from the threads and the ptfe tape should have stopped it but it hasnt. It could partly be due the the fact that the position is just too difficult to get it on properly.

I have had other plumbers come in to fix it too but it still leaks.

Any tips, advice, suggestions would be much appreciated.

regards

If you have 22mm pipe for 3/4" bath taps, where does the -> 15mm come into play?

Is the cold in 15mm?
A 15mm-3/4 flexi can be bought from must plumbing merchants.
