Hi, first time post so please be kind!

So I have finally got to plumbing my outdoor kitchen. I have an outdoor tap at one end and then 20mm MDPE pipe running underneath my garden (about a metre deep) to where i am plumbing in the coldwater sink... (P.S I realise I need to drain down the pipes every autumn.)

I really need some advice on connectors.
What I need to do is;

1) Convert the 20mm MDPE to a connection that will fit my outdoor tap (it's threaded)
2) Convert the 20mm MDPE to a 15mm equal T so that I can connect the cold and hot from the tap I have (they will both be cold but that doesn't matter)

For these I think I need this, https://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-plastic-push-fit-equal-tee-15mm/602hy with https://www.screwfix.com/p/jg-speedfit-ug601b-mdpe-copper-adaptor-20mm-x-15mm/44442 along with these https://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-pipe-inserts-20mm-10-pack/33270

Is that correct and how do I connect the kitchen tap hoses to the equal T & do I need pipe between the equal T and MDPE adaptors
I am complete plumbing newbie although I inherited a whole load of kit from my dad! I kind of feel that I should be able to do this myself but now having doubts...


Thanks in advance for any help in designing this right!
 
Not sure if it's me but the links seem to fail with a DIYNOT Temp unavailable error, seeing it more and more TBF.

The adapter and inserts for the 20mm>15mm would be correct yes. As far as connecting the tap tails to the tee then does the tap have 15mm flexi pipes or hard copper tails?
 
Thanks. Not sure why the links don't work.
The taps have 15mm Flexi pipes with a (female presumably?) screw connector

I don't think it's anything you've done re the links, I've been seeing it more and more recently

OK so the push fit wont work to connect directly to, you may need to use a couple of these, would need to check if they are long enough though to fit into a push fit coupler

Tap Tail adapters
