flexis

The flexi disc (also known as a phonosheet, Sonosheet or Soundsheet, a trademark) is a phonograph record made of a thin, flexible vinyl sheet with a molded-in spiral stylus groove, and is designed to be playable on a normal phonograph turntable. Flexible records were commercially introduced as the Eva-tone Soundsheet in 1962, and were very popular among children and teenagers and mass-produced by the state publisher in the Soviet government.

    Hey when fitting a tap supplied with flexis with a 1/2 female end. Do people screw them on to a iso valve or a male coupler 15mm x 1/2. I have used iso valves in the past but hear your not meant to as it doesn't have a flat surface for the washer to sit on.

    Hi, First off I apologise in advance for my complete lack of knowledge, so sorry if anything I ask sounds a bit daft! I had a new kitchen fitted by a local company a few years ago, which included the installation of a new sink unit and tap. Ever since then the water pressure from the tap...

    Flexis, why do people do this?

    I have seen this done a few times lately, a flexi coming out of a tiled boxing connecting a WC cistern. Nothing wrong with using a good quality flexi if fitted correctly, but this is just wrong.

    Spanner for monoblock flexis

    Anyone know if there is a special tool or spanner for undoing monoblock tap flexi connectors. These taps have a hollow body where the flexis screw in. Cannot undo by hand as the flexis just twist. I think I need something like a mini 'L' shaped tap wrench! Anyone else come across this problem?

    The reason I don't use flexis...

    .....I've seen too many of them burst especially the cheap imported ones to place any confidence in them at all. One was on the counter in PTS today being returned as it had burst and had a quarter inch gash down the middle of it. I've seen perfectly installed ones with no kinks, twists or...
