Problem connecting a wall mounted tap.

[Sujester]

I've bought a wall mounted tap (http://www.heatandplumb.com/acatalog/Sagittarius_Avant_Wall_Mounted_3_Hole_Basin_Mixer_Tap.html) It's one piece, has a plate attached for wall mounting, but there are no tap tails or connectors, just 1/2" threaded holes (vertical).
I bought 1/2" x 15mm male compressions couplers; they fit but leak - tried adding an o-ring on the couplier, then wound PTFE tape round the threads of the coupler, but still weeps.
What should I be using to connect this tap?

Thanks

You've missed the "l" from the link.

Without seeing it or the MI sheet then it's a bit more difficult. Does it not tell you in the MI what fittings are required? It may be a 15mm x 1/2" BSP fitting it uses? The PTFE tape solution - more of - sounds like the way to go but seems a lots of farfing about for what should be a complete installation.

I'd be getting in touch with Sagittarius and see what they've got to say

You could try taper male connectors instead of parallel.

The MI sheet was rubbish, covered a number of generic taps, none of which looked like this one. Spoke to Sagittarius on the phone a couple of times, they promised better instructions but after a week and a couple of emails they sent a scanned copy of the wrong instructions again.

I think I'm going to write these off, not confident and really worried about boarding and tiling over them, then finding a leak later.

Sorry, last post was a bit grumpy. Thanks for your help, I'll try this

It's more substantial than the straight connector. Does this need PTFE taping?

Hi, did this work in the end? Also, does the brass block on yours also have no back nuts for clamping to the wall? I have two plates for screwing to some sort of mount but that doesn't seem very robust to me

Sagitarius are in my experience a rubbish company.

Try Loctite 55 on the male thread
