A tap connector to my monobloc bathroom tap has started leaking where it joins to the tap.
The existing tap connectors are rigid 10mm pipes, which were bent into shape to connect with the 15mm pipes which supply the water. I want to replace these with flexible connectors as I find these easier to fit securely.
For the replacement I have bought two Flexible Monobloc Tap Connectors from Wickes (size: 15 x 10 x 300mm). These are fine, except that when they are connected, I cannot reattach the tap to the sink! (There are two threaded screws for the tap and the screws are too close to the new flexible connectors to fit on their securing bolts). The diameter of the flexible connectors is about 10mm, whereas the previous tap connectors were 8mm diameter.
Does anyone know if I can get a flexible connector with piping smaller than 10mm diameter? Alternatively, if I had to buy a new tap, how can I check in advance whether the fittings would have, or be suitable for use with, flexible connectors?
Thank you in advance for any advice!
