I hear that all flexi braided connections have been de listed by the NHS. The problem is their rubber core
which becomes soft and collects bacteria. This is obviously not good and they have decided to cease using
these connections anywhere near hot, cold and drinking water. Wras are already on top of it. What do others on PF
