Flexibles with Plain Pipe Ends

[thescullster]

Hi all

One of my colleagues was asking what these flexibles were made for specifically. He had seen flexible connectors with compression fittings one end and just a plain 50mm long 15mm o/d pipe-type end at the other.

Clearly you could stick a compression fitting onto the straight end, but he thought he had seen these mentioned alongside a monobloc tap.

Are there taps out there with connections which just accept a plain push-in pipe end? Maybe with an O-ring seal joint like plastic pipe fittings?

Sounds easier than wielding a tap spanner, but not sure how this joint would be dismantled.

TIA

You could solder it.

You could use it with push-fit.

You could stick it ... anywhere you would otherwise use plain pipe.

Certainly seen shower pumps which have JG pushfit fittings built-in, and supplied with flexible tails like you describe. (NewTeam)
