  • Want to replace tap in kitchen.

    I believe the current flexi hose terminates with a male end piece. New tap came with female connector.

    flexi hose (female) > male isolation valve > copper pipe, correct?

    Anything to bear in mind when I take the old flexi hose off? As there is no isolation valve anywhere near, just the main stop cock I assume there could be a lot of water?

    Will the old compression nut come off okay? Or might I need to cut the copper pipe?

    Want to make sure I have everything required to avoid not having water. Due to the current lack of isolation valve if I fuck it up then no water for whole house :)

  • Mains or tank fed (not always mains as it should be) have a couple of big buckets for drainage and swapping over.

    Do you have an outside tap you can use to drain down once isolated?
