    Yes spot on let's say the spout is made out of 15mm tube for this theory it will have another piece of tub eg 3/8 in the centre of the spout 15mm will be the cold and 3/8 will be the hot side, so there is defo no chance of it mixing Hope it makes sense

    Ideally you want a bi flow tap (eg the supplies never touch each other until there out the spout) But you can get away with check valves on both sides/ supplies at point of use

    They look spot on, bending spring ?? Protection from the ground / cement as it can eat into the copper down the road And water proof gaffa tape is very good also if your going to cement the whole lot in add some insulation to allow for any movement

    New DIY "Plumber" needs advise for loft water tank supply nut and olive?!?

    And if you went with the olive method you would need to do away with the tap connector (loose nut) and just use stnd 15mm pipe

    You would be surprised a fibre washer joint can take more of a shock load than a compression joint (both done correctly)

    Same do a shed load of maintenance in schools etc Normally find the nuts arnt tight enough which cause the fibre washer to swell a lot more than designed

    New DIY "Plumber" needs advise for loft water tank supply nut and olive?!?

    Not the fluidmasters they can do both And don't agree with your last part there both the same if done badly but haven't come across one installed correctly leaking I've even seen tap connectors installed old school style with string never leaked

    Exactly the same with toilet ball/float valves do you use a nut and olive on them doubtful
