But can you hear anything going up your soil pipe ?

I only replied because no one else did and I felt sorry for you .

No

You should be posting on pornhub with that dirty talk

I see . So how does it flex without leaking ? I.e with no inner tube ?

Surely the same issue as a flexi tap ? I.e failure . Use one @joe90 then post photos of the flood 😊

@markc stop trying to get me to (expletive deleted) it up for your amusement.

Hmmm . But I’ve really got to S bend the top haven’t I . A bend to pull the copper across away from the cabinet then a bend to get it vertical again . Space is tight there with the sink . I’ll (expletive deleted) the unit apart skill required = negligible 👍

Now I saw this on YouTube . But … all sounds like work and possible failure . Cutting a chunk out the unit is ‘safer ‘ I think

@Alan Ambrose here you go ; so you don’t sleep tonight - look at the state on them ! With no obvious cause

I wasn’t either ! . I had some flex’s disintegrate on my temp sink kitchen tap ( only 2 yrs old ) . I’d forgot about that . But Friday a friend said they got in their bath turned off the hot and heard a pop as the flexi split - naturally flooding their bathroom . So - Now I worry about flooding my nice new kitchen. Also you’re going to worry . Bet @Thorfun is worried also . Might have to start a new “ Worried and scared “ thread .

One issue I’ve got is by bad luck ( or incompetence ) those copper tails I assume have zero bend . As you can see my tap inlets are just inline with the cabinet side . Once I add the Hep2o fitting I’m going to be straining them . Do I worry ? . Or just cut that slot down much further in the unit so copper tails and Hep2o have a bit of room ? I.e no strain on the copper as nice and vertical . Needless to say no issue if I use flexi’s

I’ll give ‘em a whirl 👍

So those copper rods then ? . Is the connection end ‘ standard ‘ I.e simply fits in a Hep2o connector . Unfortunately I can only do this on the kitchen taps ( others are to restricted and must be flexi hoses ) like these ?

Is there a particular brand / type that is ‘better’ regardless of price ?

Wow ! What a nightmare 🙄

What’s a hotel with 500 rooms do ? Flexi tails failing left ,right and centre ; flood every day ? Hmmmmmmm

Who knows . But it worries me after 2 known incidents. I could get the copper rigid tails and then do the end to my Hep2o …

I have rimless with no attenuation . It can splash a tiny bit - but no real issue when you consider all the piss and shit covering the floor anyway .

I had some fail on my temp kitchen ( only about 2 yrs old ) they came with a cheap tap so perhaps to be expected . Someone I know recently had one split on the hot feed to the bath - causing a flood …. So ! As I fit my new kitchen I wonder/ worry about them . You can buy one for 5 quid or 30 quid . Is there any variation in quality for price ? . Google tells me life span is 5 to 10 yrs . Not very reassuring . Or do I just install , be damned , just hope I remember to inspect every 12 months ….. 🫤

What’s the point of the attenuation? . I know what it does - but erm why ?

No !

I’ll give you respect for stretching the bathroom task into decades . Posting a thread that rivals the bible in its length and delusion. But ! You never joined my anonymous help group . Until the day you do that and accept your shame you can never truly be considered a completely useless shite .

If you were a proper plumber you’d have functional heating in the bathroom .
