Why is plummering always a pita :(:( I feel your pain.
Quite!
Looking closely at the holes into which they go, I have a feeling that the seal thing is gonna be quite important for stopping the wet stuff from going where you dinna want it to!!!
so unless I can find a fitting with similar it could well be a bust. So guess who is prolly going to be using his hole saws, or similar, quite a bit round the back of the unit, and maybe the side panels etc. Feck it!!:mad:
 
.....i'm feckin about with plumberin again.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Want to reuse the nice, deep, but single basin, kitchen sink I took out by putting it in the utility. But it's going to be tight doing the pipework, so I want to fit flexi-tails instead of reuse the ones I already have on the monobloc tap, which is a nice one too.
So took them off, they have male ends with, as far as I can tell, 14mm ends with thread size of 1.5. But they are a bit weird cos they have a kind of shoulder on them at the end of the thread, followed by an O-ring that sits in a groove. Of course they sit dead tight together which accounts for the 4 sided spannery bit, so you can do them up.
I'll put a coupla pics up.

I'm afeared they are a special fitting and I will end up having to cut them down and fit a push-fit flexi to that. but the bastids have about 60mm of roughly 12mm (NOT 1/2") before it flares out to 15mm. So whatever I do doing this it'll extend everything further downwards than I want.

GGGGRRRRRRR!!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
and before anyone asks, they came with the feckin tap. Which is why I don't know the dimensions.
Think I'll give up for the day.:(:(:(

Just unsolder the joint wif the O ring off the pipe cut it to your favourite length then solder back on:p simple init:D. Then you can continue with your plan:).

Those pipe fittings should only be done hand tight, like an oil filter. I assemble with a smear of copper grease on the threads and seals. Can you adapt the pipe to fit the isolation valve? might work if the o-ring seals are not cattle trucked.
