Kitchen tap confusion

[billybert]

Hi

Our kitchen tape is leaking so I got myself down to Toolstation for a replacement. Problem is the flex pipes provided don't fit my setup.

The existing tap is a mono-bloc has copper pipes that screw into 12mm connections in the base and then at the other end they connect into a speedfit flex and then onto the copper pipes:

My new taps were provided with flexi pipes that have got this at the end and clearly I'm not going to get this to connect to the speedfit.

I've got another set of flexi pipes as well, but short of extending the copper pipe and binning the speedfit flexi pipes I can't see that these are any help either:

The new taps have a 10mm connection on them, else I'd just reuse the existing 12mm pipes. I can't find a set of replacement pipes with a 10mm connection on them. Am I just going blind or should I be doing something else???

The distance between the tap and the source pipes is about 600mm and I've only found 300 mm flexi pipes with a 10mm connection into the monobloc. But again I may just be going blind!

Thanks

You need 2 half inch male irons by the looks of it. And perhaps to extend the copper 300mm.

That's an odd set up for a flexi, 10mm thread one end and a swivel tap conn the other.

Speedfit do 10mm monobloc flexi tap conns which you could connect to the existing flexis with a small piece of pipe.
