Flexibles with Plain Pipe Ends

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)
