Flexible Tap Connector - 1/2'' X 1/2'' X 900Mm

Flexible Tap Connector - 1/2'' X 1/2'' X 900Mm

The Flexible Tap Connector (1/2" x 1/2" x 900mm) is an extra-long, professional-grade plumbing hose designed to provide a secure and versatile connection between rigid pipework and plumbing fixtures. Its exceptional 900mm length makes it the essential solution for challenging installations where standard-length connectors cannot reach, such as high-level cisterns or deep-set bath and basin units.

Key Features and Installation Details
Compliance: Fully WRAS Approved, ensuring all materials used are safe for potable (drinking) water systems and meet high-quality industry standards.

Material: Features a high-quality, non-toxic EPDM rubber inner core protected by a robust Stainless Steel Braid. This construction provides superior flexibility, high pressure resistance, and long-term protection against kinking or bursting.

Configuration: Female x Female (Fi x Fi) – Both ends of the hose feature threaded nuts:

End 1: 1/2" BSP Female Threaded Nut with integral washer.

End 2: 1/2" BSP Female Threaded Nut with integral washer.

Size and Reach: Connects two 1/2" male threaded points (such as a 1/2" male iron adaptor on a pipe and a 1/2" male tap tail). The 900mm (0.9 meter) length provides significant reach for complex routing.

Function: Used to bridge the gap between supply pipework and taps or valves. The flexible nature of the hose compensates for pipe misalignment and absorbs vibration, reducing stress on the plumbing joints.

Installation Method: Mechanical Connection – Requires no heat or specialized tools. The nuts are hand-tightened onto the male threads and then secured with a quarter-turn using a spanner to engage the internal seal.

The Installer's Advantage
The 900mm length is a dedicated "problem-solver" for installers. It eliminates the need for extending rigid pipework into awkward or hard-to-reach spaces, saving significant time and labor. The stainless steel braiding ensures long-term durability even in high-pressure domestic systems, providing a professional finish that standard hoses cannot achieve.
