Hi folks

Really daft question here but what tap connectors are you all using?

I’ve picked up a couple of end feed with fibre washers today and the washers didn’t fit. Just would not fit over the little spigot that sits just inside the tap.

I ended up using different washers which were baggy and not sealing to good.

These were 3/4” for bath taps. Flexis were out of the question as that was what had blown.

Cheers
 
I use polypipe tap connectors as its a million times easier to use them in tight positions and don't need as much torque, done the same for tank connectors (although fitting these are few and far between nowadays!)

If its a pedastal basin with twin taps and I can't use flexis I'll use soldered with fibre washers

Can the washers be bought on there own?


 
Fibre washers and endfeed connectors.
If the washer won’t go on the spigot- spend a few seconds with a rat’s tail file whizzing around the inside of the fibre washer.

Alot of taps now come with a beveled send so could attempt a nut and olive. Does this effect anything if wanting to use a no62/ rubber washer?
