Which Flexi Tap Tails Do I Need To Get?

[2point8ghiax]

I'm fitting a new monobloc tap with 10mm holes to my kitchen sink. I want to replace the flexis that are already there.

These flexis screw directly onto the end of the isolation valves, with a flat rubber washer making the seal.

So, the flexis will be 10mm one end, but what type/size ends am I looking for the ends that screw onto the isolation valves?

Probably 1/2 inch bsp but could be 3/4 inch. Depends on what size
isolator is currently there.

The tap would normaly be supplied with the new flexies.
Have you bought the new tap yet?

The new tap will come with flexi's. They will most likely be 1/2" but maybe 3/8". Open the box when you are buying it and have a look.

Most isolation valves are designed to take an olive as a compression fitting. So it's possible that the rubber washer could split as you tighten the fitting.
