Installing new Kitchen Taps

[Wyleecoyote]

I wish to fit these taps:
www.deva.org.uk/products/other/commercial/cross-handle/show/cross-handle-sink-taps
They are near identical to the old Pegler taps which I'm finding difficult to find replacement valves for.

However, the taps state they have Screw in Tails

Does this mean something like these: https://evergreengoodsstore.com/ind...MI7ICqxfHy4AIV2I2zCh1BqAXOEAQYASABEgLXfvD_BwE
can be screwed directly into the base of the taps ?

The pipework under the sink looks to be 15mm; so, would I use standard bore Isolation valves ?
Currently, there's no Isolation Valves or flexi pipes fitted.

The tap probably comes with the flexi tails. Make sure you screw them in hand tight.

The other end needs to be fitted to either a 15mm to 1/2 adaptor or the top of an isolator although isolators tend to have a sharper edge than the adaptors.

in that order as the water sees it.

ktuludays.... Thanks for your reply.
The tap data sheet states only 2 taps, 2 washers, 2 backnuts supplied, no flexi tails mentioned.

So, the term "Screw in Tails" means exactly that, the Flexi tails screw into the base of the taps ?

I did intend to connect the flexi tail female connectors directly to the top to the Isolator valves, is this not recommended; should 1/2 to 15mm adaptors ?

The taps linked to have a straight half inch threaded shank,your existing taps should have the same and same length.

To save your self time,cash & the chance of leaving water leaks,just fit the new taps directly onto the existing tap connectors under the sink. You will need a couple of half inch fiber washers but buy a 5 pack.

Currently, there's no Isolation Valves or flexi pipes fitted.

For the job your doing,they are optional

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions.

I know the use of tails and iso valves isnt really necessary.
I only planned to use them so to update and to tidy up appearance under the sink; current pipework to taps has turned black n green.

Although, I'm the only one to look there, now I know what it looks like, after 30 years, I prefer it to look more hygienic.
