  • Plumberists…easiest way to connect new tap?

    I’m replacing my kitchen tap with a new monoblock one.

    Old tap is copper tails – speedfit Flexi hose – copper pipe supply.

    New tap has Flexi tails prefitted which end in 1/2 inch female coupling.

    Problem is the new tails are a bit too short. Is there some kind of speedfit coupler to connect 1/2 inch female to a speedfit socket, or is there a better way, bearing in mind I’m not a plumber but usually ok with DIY stuff!

    Edit – I found a hep2o connector which is 1/2″ to a brass stub but not sure if this works with speedfit stuff

    Can you remove the prefitted flexi tails and just whack on some longer ones?

    Get a longer flexi hose with speedfit coupling

    Easiest way is above. Prob 10mm tails, unscrew and measure.
    Or buy push fit 15mm connector, joiner, coupler thingy and make a short extension using a few cms of 15mm copper

    Thanks, I’ll get some longer monobloc tails, couldn’t find them on Screwfix but then remembered Amazon!
