Temp Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 The monoblock tap I'm fitting was supplied with tails intended for use with copper pipe (eg compression and metal olive). I'm using JG Speedfit 15mm plastic pipe and the obvious thing to do is replace the supplied tails with these.. https://www.screwfix.com/p/jg-speedfit-monobloc-tap-connector-15mm-x-m10mm-x-300mm-2-pack/99193 However these are plastic and ive always used metal braided flexible hose. The Hep20 tails are metal braid, can you safely use Hep20 fittings with JG pipe? Failing that could I remove compression nut and olive from the supplied tails and mate the result with one of these.. https://www.screwfix.com/p/jg-speedfit-plastic-push-fit-straight-tap-connectors-15mm-x-1-2-2-pack/29175 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 Looks like the JG tails might be metal with a plastic coating. I'll go take a look and if so I'll go for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSee Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Easier option, use the supplied tails and replace the (assumed) brass olive supplied with a copper one. That can be compressed directly on to the plastic pipe. Remember to still use a pipe insert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
