I am trying to connect a Franke monobloc kitchen tap (Zurich); the instructions say that the copper tubes only need hand tightening. Because of the complexity of the existing pipework under the sink, I thought it would be easier to use flexible tails, so bought a JG Speedfit 15mm X M12 Monobloc hose kit and have tried using that instead of the copper tails.
I have tightened the Speedfit connections into the tap, using the spanner flats fitted, but it leaks at the tap base, even on the low-pressure hot-water supply.
Have I got a faulty hose kit - or is there anything else that should be done? Constructive suggestions welcome.
