15x15 tap flexi with valve?

[AJ16]

Anyone know where to get either a 15x15 braided flexi hose with valve or a 15x10 or a 10x10??

Anyway as I said try PTS and make sure that they are WRAS approved.

Why flexi with valve, it contradicts the idea of having a valve/flexi for easy interchangability as you can not change the flexi without turning off the whole system. Especially on vented HWCs a pain in the back side.

 

[REDSAW]

you can get them from screw fix

How about the walk-in-shower starting just behind the entrance?
Or reversed arches with water features? Surely an architectural piece of art.

 

[ecowarm]

"Who's System3" where have you been?

 

[nicro3]

Flexis' I have seen go were supplied with taps. What you going to do!! Given the choice would not use them, but come with taps

If it comes from Grohe or Ideal Standard I tend to trust the flexies unseen as they had their approval and they had done their mistakes with the wrong materials long before.

Ok, I've found plain 15-10mm flexis at Screwfix & PTS. The reason I want them is to connect up a bidet as space is v tight for 15mm, I could use 10mm copper but it's still quite awkward to get everytrhing line up and be able to srew the waste pipe onto the trrap, so flexis seem like a ggod option. I take the point about ussing good quality gear, on my old Worcester Heatslave there has been a flexi in the filling loop for 20yrs without incident. Having an inline service valve on the flexi is surely no different than having a separate valve, in terms of disconnecting a fitting as you still have to drain the residual water from one side of the valve. I only want the valve as a precaution not so much because I'm planning to remove the bidet on a regular basis.

I am pretty sure you will learn that at a later point yourself if you were right on this statement.

Just had a look at a job this weekend. Every radiator was plumbed in with flexis.

Pictures, or it didn't happen.

Didn't hang around long enough. As soon as a realised the whole plumbing was a joke I said not interested unless the job's stripping out and replacing the lot. The plastic pipes to and from the cisterns in the loft were suspended on lengths of string and there was grey plastic pipe everywhere clipped to the skirting boards.
