Details

Trying to connect rigid copper supply lines to a bathroom tap in a shallow vanity or narrow service void is an absolute nightmare. Because space is so limited, bending hard metal pipes into short, sharp angles often leads to kinked pipework and restricted water flow. Alternatively, installing standard 300mm or 500mm flexible hoses creates too much slack. Consequently, the excess hose loops over heavily, causing severe kinks, internal structural stress, and sudden tracking leaks inside your cabinetry. Furthermore, cheap unbranded hoses frequently suffer from weak crimps that degrade under hot water cycles, risking a devastating mains-pressure flood in your property.

Fortunately, installing this genuine Viva flexible tap connector eliminates these spatial constraints and safety headaches completely. Because Viva engineers this ultra-short 150mm hose with a premium stainless steel braid, it bridges small gaps perfectly without looping or folding under pressure. Therefore, you completely bypass the need for tedious, precision pipe bending in dark, cramped spaces under the basin. Additionally, the integrated 15mm compression joint and 1/2″ BSP nut establish a reliable, mechanical seal straight out of the box. As a result, you achieve a tidy, professional finish that maximises cabinet space and keeps your plumbing flawlessly watertight.
