coupler.. copper and Flexible

[Steve]

Hi,

I need to change a bathroom tap I decided to do it by myself :-)

I am fairly new in plumbing. I try to find some possible couplers for copper and Flexible... Is that easy to find ? Is there a specific name for that ? (I was told that I would just need to cut the copper pipe and put this coupler.....

To change it, I just need to know the distance of the hole on the bathroom ? AFAIK, there is no standard......

Thanks for your help and sorry to be so beginner, but we need to start one day :-)

Congrats on being brave to try new things. Your message is confusing, though. Yes there are adapters to go from copper to a variety of materials. I have no idea what you mean by "distance of the hole on the bathroom ? AFAIK," I assume "tap" is British for "faucet." I highly recommend you get a little help from someone who's done this before, but if you must try it alone the best thing to do is take a small piece of the copper to the hardware store. They should be able to show you what you need. Just remember to shut the water off before cutting the pipe.
