  • Just seems to be a couple of copper pipes connected to 90 degree compression fittings. No valves anywhere to be seen.

    Presumably those pipes will have something like this at the other end?

    So unless I'm mistaken it's a case of undoing the compression fittings, removing the whole lot, swapping the tails onto the new tap (hoping that they're the same thread), fitting that and reconnecting it. And some LSX.

    Sounds worryingly straightforward.

  • You don’t get values with taps and the person that’s fitted them previous hasn’t bothered to fit them. You could just unscrew they plastic fittings and refit the new ones the same way if they are the same length.

  • Yeah, figured that much but they don't seem necessary in this case.

    If there's any problem with the length (can't imagine tap bases vary much) I guess I'd replace the plastic fittings with a pair of these and replace the pipes with flexible hose.
