What is the longest flexi tails i can find

[Mike232]

Hi ,i moved my sink about 1meter and now i need to use longer flexi-tails.
The distance now is about 2 meter for hot and for cold from boiler to the sink.The flexible pipes are short and i was looking for longer tails.The longer i can find is about 90cm i think.should i use 2 or even 3 of them? What is the proper thing to do on this situation ?

no no no only asking for trouble if you use long ones best to hard pipe them in copper

Flexies have a rubber core which becomes porous over time and harbour nasty bugs. They have been de listed by NHS for this reason. They also have a tendancy to split and flood. Copper pipe is best, stainless steel flexi pipe comes second ...try AZ Flowtech for flexi stainless not much diff in price with rubber flexies. Centralheatking

First choice would be copper, but if its awkward and you need some pipe flexibility you could always use push-fit polyplumb, long flexi tails are asking for trouble imo

Mike , its a recipe for disaster to do that with flexis , depending on how confident you feel use some speedfit straight lengths clipped to the wall , theres probably some vids on you tube , failing that get a plumber in and install some copper .
