Fitting UK bath taps.

Recommended Posts

Anyone know if it's possible to use French fitting on UK bath taps. The fitting I tried seems the same size but also seems a bit loose, and really I do not fancy wrapping loads of  tape round the thread. I did hear mention that it was possible to buy some sort of 'thread converter'  - off the internet it seems.

Should have got French baths taps I know but the Mrs likes the UK ones argghh!

Personally, I'd NOT use English taps, which seem top be designed for low pressure systems.

French taps are relatively cheap, and will cope with the higher pressures often found in French homes.

Same part number, same instructions, same manufacturer.  At the time I first started looking even at only 7 Francs to the Pound fittigns were cheaper in France. A couple of the really expensive bathroom shops oon the Kings Road had accounts at Leroy Merlin in Bordeaux.
