Flexible Tap Connector - 15Mm X 1/2'' X 500Mm With Iso Valve

Full Bore

The Flexible Tap Connector with Isolation Valve (15mm x 1/2" x 500mm) is a highly efficient "two-in-one" plumbing solution. It combines a standard braided flexible hose with an integrated ball-type isolation valve at the pipe connection end. This allows for the water supply to a specific tap or appliance to be turned off locally for maintenance without affecting the rest of the building's water system.

Key Features and Installation Details
Compliance: WRAS Approved, ensuring the internal materials are safe for drinking water systems.

Material: Constructed with a high-quality EPDM rubber core encased in a Stainless Steel Braid for high pressure resistance and durability. The integrated valve is made of robust brass.

Configuration: Compression x Female Thread (C x Fi):

Valve End (15mm Compression): Connects directly onto a 15mm copper pipe. Features a built-in screwdriver-operated isolation valve.

Tap End (1/2" BSP Female): Features a standard threaded nut with an internal washer for connecting to a tap tail or male thread.

Dimensions: A standard 500mm (0.5 meter) length, providing ample reach for most basin and kitchen sink installations.

Function: Simplifies the installation process by removing the need for a separate isolation valve and a separate connector. It provides a neat, professional finish while ensuring future maintenance is quick and easy.

Installation Method: Mechanical Connection – The 15mm end is secured to the pipe using a compression nut and olive (tightened with spanners). The 1/2" end is hand-tightened onto the fixture thread and secured with a final quarter-turn.

The Installer's Advantage
This fitting is a major time-saver for professional plumbers. By integrating the isolation valve directly onto the hose, it reduces the number of joints in the system, which in turn reduces the potential points of leakage. It is the ideal choice for modern bathroom and kitchen installs where speed and reliability are paramount.
