Hi guys

Im replacing a set of basin taps with a v&b mixer tap.
The flexi tails attached to the tap body have got some fitting ends that I've not seen before

The instructions have some images of what look like push fit sockets (not supplied)

I want to fit the tails to 15mm copper pipe.

Does anyone know if there is some sort of adapter that I need, or do i need to change the tails?
 
The brass tails on the flexis are probably 10mm, you'll need to measure or it may be stated in the instructions.
You just need 10mm x 15mm reducing coupler or elbow or whatever suits to get onto 15mm

Something like;
 
If they’re already 15mm the use a full bore isolation valve or coupling, if they’re 10mm then a 15mm x 10mm reducer, likewise if 12mm.

Done use push fit as it’s brass use a compression fitting
 
Found out last week that John Guest do a brass long tail drain off for use with speed fit fittings

Yes but there’s a special ridge to stop it flying off
