Flexi Pipe For Taps

[Sonic70]

Hi,

Just refitted an old kitchen tap by paini model trixi. One of the flexi pipes was faulty so bought some new ones from screwfix which have a 12mm fitting at the tap end. Tried fitting the new flexi but the 12mm end was slightly too big and would not screw in, I then tried a spare set of flexi which had 10mm ends and these were way too loose. I'm thinking the original supplied flexi must be 11mm but no one seems to sell this size. Any ideas on a way around this?

Thanks
Victor

Never heard of anything but 10 or 12mm. Just return the whole tap as it was faulty as supplied. Screwfix are usually very good for returns.

This is an old tap that I bought 10yrs ago but hardly used until cartridge failed. Bought some new cartridges for it recently and refitted it as another tap had died. So definitely can't take it back.

Could it possibly be a BSP or BSPT thread?

Possibly, I've lost my verniers so can't measure properly.

Treat yourself and buy a new tap.
