My kitchen mixer tap has flexi tails with the small double o-ring into the = monoblock, and on the other end not compression connectors, but the same fi= tting as a tap connector - a female with a large rubber mating flange insid= e. It seems to be recommended to use one side of a compression coupler screwed= into the female connector, but that seems a bit dodgy to me as the end of = the compression coupler is not designed to be a mating face, and tapers to = quite a narrow face which could cut into the rubber rather than seal agains= t it. When such a female connector is used to connect to an actual tap, the botto= m of the tap does not taper and so that seems perfectly reasonable. Is there a better way to connect a "tap connecter" on the non-tap end to 15= mm copper ? Simon.
