tail

The tail is the section at the rear end of certain kinds of animals’ bodies; in general, the term refers to a distinct, flexible appendage to the torso. It is the part of the body that corresponds roughly to the sacrum and coccyx in mammals, reptiles, and birds. While tails are primarily a feature of vertebrates, some invertebrates including scorpions and springtails, as well as snails and slugs, have tail-like appendages that are sometimes referred to as tails. Tailed objects are sometimes referred to as "caudate" and the part of the body associated with or proximal to the tail are given the adjective "caudal".

    Bath/shower mixer leaking from tail.

    Has anybody ever come across a bath/shower mixer which leaks from the tails? By this I do not mean where the tap connector screws on to the tail, but actually where the tail fits into the body of the mixer. This mixer in question is only a couple of years old. Views, anyone? :confused:

    Radiators smaller then tail size

    Hi all, what's a good solution for fitting a radiator which is slightly smaller than the one that came out, is there a nice fitting that tails out of the radiator into a section of 15mm?!!!! I came across some fitted by British Gas, real chunky connectors but they look too much for the job.
