I got a couple of mixer taps and they came with flexible hoses with what appeared to be female 1/2 inch BSP ends.
So I got some 15mm compression to male 1/2 inch fittings, tightened the lot up and there was water spraying everywhere, from where the pipe emerges from the hole in the nut.
I couldn't tighten them enough so that where the pipe emerges from the nut there was no play, am I missing the point?
I'll bin them tomorrow and get some pushfit, i'm mainly pissed off because I couldn't get straight 15mm compression to 1/2 BSP fittings (7.30pm and B&Q had none) so had to get elbows and for 4 it was just shy of £20.
