Pushfit part

[ippo123]

Hi folks,

Can you help me identify the part I need here.

The two tails have well and truly rusted. I need to replace them with the isolator.

The isolator is 15mm and then there seems to be some sort of connector between it and a smaller diameter push fit pipe, not sure on size, maybe 10mm?

The plastic connector does turn but what shall I replace the tap tail and isolator with? Is there a pushfit equivalent that will fit that plastic connector or shall I just replace like for like?

The white fitting is a tap connector 10mm push fit (onto the supply pipe end) and half inch BSP female thread on the other end, rubber seal inside makes watertight connection to the isolation valve. Bit of a lash up in my opinion ,but you could replace like for like if you wish .

Thanks for this, turned into a real pita. The isolation valve had been put on backwards and the tap completely rusted couldn't even get the old Flexi out.

Btw do I need to use the olive in the isolation valve?

No ,there is a rubber seal In the white tap connector,and one in the Flexi. The isolation valve has a sharp edge at both ends and not really designed for connection the way it is. You could fit tap tail adaptors into both ends of the isolation valves ( which would need olives and the compression nuts), they are flat faced and make proper joints with the rubber washer. Or you could carefully file the isolation valves ends flat.
