Flexible Tap Connector - 1/2'' X 1/2'' X 500Mm

Flexible Tap Connector - 1/2'' X 1/2'' X 500Mm

The 1/2" x 1/2" x 500mm Flexible Tap Connector is a high-quality plumbing tail designed to provide a seamless connection between two 1/2" male threaded points. Unlike standard connectors that feature a compression end, this "nut-to-nut" configuration is specifically designed for systems where the supply pipework already terminates in a 1/2" male iron or adaptor, making it ideal for specialized tap installations and water system repairs.

Key Features and Specifications
Compliance: Fully WRAS Approved, ensuring the hose is safe for use with potable (drinking) water.

Material Construction:

Inner Core: Durable, non-toxic EPDM rubber.

Outer Braid: High-grade Stainless Steel, offering excellent protection against kinking, high pressure, and corrosion.

Fittings: Features two heavy-duty brass 1/2" BSP female threaded nuts.

Dimensions:

End 1: 1/2" BSP Female Thread.

End 2: 1/2" BSP Female Thread.

Length: 500mm (0.5m), providing generous reach for easy routing in restricted spaces.

System Suitability: Ideal for connecting monobloc taps, toilet cisterns, or water heaters to pre-installed male threaded wall plates or valves.

The Installer's Advantage
The 500mm "nut-to-nut" flexible connector is a versatile problem-solver for the professional plumber. Its extended length allows for comfortable looping, which prevents stress on the joints and ensures a smooth water path. Because it utilizes female threads on both ends, it eliminates the need for additional adapters when connecting two threaded fixtures, effectively reducing the number of potential leak points in the system.
