Full bore flexible tap connectors?

[Phil Reid]

DIYer here, so please excuse any stupid statements...

I've just replaced an old bath that had traditional tap connectors and no isolation valves with flexible tap connectors and standard isolation valves. Result, looks pretty but much reduced water flow. Now I've just read that you can buy full bore isolation valves, but what about full bore flexible tap connectors? Do they exist and where can I get them from?

The new bath is double ended with taps in the middle, and it's a real pig to get to the connections. I'm not sure (with my skills anyway) if traditional copper connectors are an option.

Thanks...

flexi pipes are avalible in 8mm,10mm and 13mm bore you would be better of with 13mm

You could try 22mm Hep2o tap connectors with a length of 22mm plastic pipe (pushfit). This should give you enough movement to connect up OK.
