15mm Compression by 3/8" BSP Male Iron Thread European Flexible Tap Adapters (Pair)

Bought a Grove tap only to find out it does not fit normal oipes. Upon further investigation of the two page, I see these fittings are commonly sold together. I know why now. One end dcrews into the tap input, the other end has a compression fit to a normal 15mm pipe. It all works well. No issues. The connector is made well. The only thing I managed to do was over tighten the nut on the cold water pipe from the tap. This was not the fault of the compression fit, it's not like it was screaming at me to keep turning. The figvwas still perfect. It's been a month of two now and working very well with no leaks.

Ordered these to enable me to fit new tap and hoses to existing pipe outlets. Perfect fit, well made with no leaks and easy install. Very satisfied.

Firstly the tap adapters aren’t as per the original image, brass, but chrome with shutoff valves. This seems like an improvement so not complaining. I was converting from a U.K. type tap, Franke, to this European Grohe, hence needed to convert from 15mm copper pipe directly to the base of the tap to 3/8 flexible hoses. These are easy to use and work well and required for most Euro taps.

Decent quality. Reasonable price.

Lockdown? Become a DIY plumber. Real plumbers have the right tools. I didn't because my metric "spanner set" did not have a spanner large enough to fit the big nut on the top. The 22mm one did not fit. It is a 1 inch head. My "adjustable spanner" was too broad to allow the big nut to be held while turning the smaller one if you see what I mean. The DIY shops are closed but I was able to order a thin Stanley adjustable spanner (£13) which worked. With the right tools the job was done easily. No leaks. Check your toolbox...

They arrived very quickly, I managed to fit them with relative ease - not having much plumbing experience I didn't realise that these are intended to be fitted to a bare pipe and I unfortunately had to remove a couple of extra valves from the tap pipes before I could get them on. That said, once I worked out what to do, I had them on in a couple of minutes. Very easy, very nice quality parts. I also learned to plan DIY before I start it! ;-)

I bought a Grohe Cosmo Mono sink mixer tap in B&Q. When trying to connect it up, of course the hoses do not fit the pipework, and none of the adapters I had were suitable. Turns out that the connection is 3/8" which is common in Europe. Needless to say, B&Q were unable to help (you'd think they would be able to sell these, given that they sold the me tap! No.) The guys shrugs his shoulders and walks off. Other local hardware stores unable to help either. Ordered these online once I'd understood what it was I needed. Remove all the existing pipe fittings for the old taps and just connect it to the 15mm pipes. Added some PTFE tape since there are plastic joints involved. No leaks.

I had to have these to fit the Grohe tap that I fitted, they were very quick with the delivery and fitted great
