A job I have put off for a few years is to replace our kitchen tap.
I finally bought a new one, and it comes with two flexible hoses (M10 x 1/2"BSP). However. they are 300mm long.
The old tap has two rigid pipes going to soldered joint about 250mm down from the tap.
I can't find a 200mm flexible hose to replace this, and it seems too short for the 300mm hose.
I hope to avoid re-plumbing the nightmare that is the copper pipework around this area, so I wondered what the alternatives were?
Can I get a longer hose and loop it?
Or remove the old tap, and fit an adaptor to the old rigid connectors to fit the new tap?
Or a new copper tail:
