Hi, my partner bought a second hand stainless steel sink which is great...like new. With a lovely Tall mixer Tap. Which I'm guessing is German-made! Unfortunately the pipes were destroyed and I need to replace them. Have visited several Plumbing supply shops with no joy, as they all sell standard UK fitting flexible hose pipes (M8/M10/M12) My tap takes a 15mm screw thread fitting. Can anyone help as to where I may source these. Thanks

Many thanks for this recommend Trazor. I spent much time online without finding anything of use!
 
I thought that wouldn't be difficult, but normal suppliers negative. More common in the USA, surprisingly.
12mm is fairly common for an adapter onwards.


Might be worth calling these guys:

Try search for M15......
 
So I may be wrong in thinking it's a European Mixer Tap, may be US made! I have searched for M15, no luck so far!

I suspect its a bsp 5/8th fitting.

@Andydevon probably meant bsp 3/8", which has a 16.66mm outside diameter. Those are common as mook. It has 19 threads per inch - 1.34mm. Does that look right?

Though there are M15 threads, they're rare, it's not a preferred size.
How accurately can you measure it?

@Royce You didn't say if your threads are male or female. If female then you may just need these or similar
