Whats it for

it's for a kitchen mixer tap. One of the tap tails is leaking. The mixer is fine, but the tap tails are 6mm - i can't find a replacement anywhere and am loathed to buy a replacement mixer tap.
Thanks

You need to measure the thread where it enters the tap and the other end where it joins your plumbing and then the length.

Are we talking the monoblock and screw in tails, smallest I know would be m8 (8mm)

For 6mm tube and fittings Legris would be my first stop.

Yeah, that's the problem, they're screw in tails, but 6mm bore. I've searched everywhere and the smallest I can find is 8mm bore.

M8 is the thread size and would be about 6mm bore, if you measuring the bore it may even be m10 standard size for most taps.

no ive tried M8 and they're too big. it's definitely 6mm tap tails i need. I guess it must be an imported mixer tap

Is there anyway you can take a photo of the one you took out by the side of a ruler or tape measure

I have been doing plumbing for too many years to mention and have not seen a 6mm tail yet
