Plumbing – How to connect the new tap’s flexible hoses to the copper supply pipes

pipeplumbingplumbing-fixture

I bought a tap, and am not entirely sure what I should be doing with it. I received a flexible hose pipe to connect it to the mains.

The current tap however seems to use plastic joints into a metal solid pipe. If i remove the pipe (going upwards in the image), what type of adaptor would i need to put the flexible hose on please.

I am good with my hands, and I know how to drain the system etc. But just don't know much about joining pipes and the standards that are used.

Thanks for any help.

I found some adapters which are designed for Flexi tap to quick connectors.

You simply screw one end on, then insert the other into the quick connectors like you would any other pipe.

Now that I've done it, it seems straight forward. But at the time i wasn't sure of the connection types or possibilities. Or how they worked.

Really cheap and easy to do. Tool-less infact.
