Is this tap connector wrong for a bath filler? What do I need?

[jacoscar]

I’m fitting a bath filler which has a 3/4 BSP thread and a flat face. Normally you would fit a flexi hose but with this being hidden under a bath for years I’d want something more durable. Looking for push fit adapters to 3/4 inch I only found a tap connector like this one. I am not really clear what a tap connector is supposed to do, but this doesn’t seem to fit as the white part is bigger than the internal diameter of the threaded brass bit, so it will never seal.
What exactly do I need?

Sometimes you have to file the insert bit if the tap fitting is overly thick. It wouldn't bother me using WRAS approved flexis to be honest.

Dont overcomplicate it, use flexis and make the bath panel accessible

Maybe I can use the same angled connectors I used for my temporary shower?

The problem is they all seem to be 15mm -> 1/2 or 22mm -> 3/4, while I need 15mm -> 3/4

Yes, just get WRAS approved ones.

Actually, this looks like it’s what I need

I’ll just toss the brass fitting that came with the bath filler
Is it WRAS approved?

Careful with that one, M12 is for basin monobloc taps and will not fit a 3/4 bath filler at all. What you actually want is a 15mm to 3/4 flexible tap connector, they are made for bath taps and seal on the flat face with a rubber washer. Keep the brass fitting that came with the filler too, you may want it if you ever run the pipework rigid.

Wow, this is taking forever to fill the bath. Maybe 30 minutes for a 160x70 cm bath!

That's style over practically!

It’s more about having fewer things to clean (taps), it will be used very rarely.
Also I didn’t fancy having to silicone behind taps
