I have fitted these taps using both the flexi tails and using the copper tails and I must admit I liked the copper tails best, I found that the tap felt more ridged after fitting when done with copper even taps that had the plastic stiffener fitted under the sink there was still some movement when using the flexi tails.

A large, flat rubber washer is placed on the underside of the basin and this has holes in it which should line up with the holes in the monoblock. The larger two of these holes are for the feed pipes to be screwed in and the smaller two are where the threaded connection bars are screwed into. There should be a large rubber O ring which sits underneath the block and is squashed between the top of the sink and the underside of the block as the monoblock is tightened into place.Once the tap is in the hole with the flat washer or mounting plate placed over the threaded bars, the steel washer can be slid into place also. With the washer in place the nuts can now be tightened onto the threaded bar and this is where the DIY enthusiast struggles. Plumbers on the other hand, carry a box spanner which is a long open tube with the correct size nut shaped hole at the end. GKU,i agree what you say regarding the tap body connections being 10mm bore but the 300mm flexes are 10mm bore.

It is slid over the thread and the other end twisted tight by putting a nail or something similar into the hole and turning.

A little bit of silicon grease, screwing all the way in by hand and then a final tighten with the spanner. Copper tails, which are narrower where they go through the tail, increasing to 15 mm at the pipework connection end. The slots each occupy just under 1/4 of the diameter of each disc, a little way in from the outside.

I always groan when I see a monobloc soldered in because it becomes such a pain to get it out again and after cutting it out you usually have to do a fair bit of rearranging of the pipework to put in the replacement. It has to be said that fitting a monoblock mixer tap (or monobloc as it’s also spelt) is not the easiest operation in the world and can certainly be a bit fiddly. not when in a confined space or when the fittings end up situated side by side as when connecting to monobloc tails. The monoblock is a very clever piece of design technology which allows both the hot and cold feed to enter the base, or block of the tap.The only other thing you can really do is source a monobloc tap with screw down taps, not 1/4 turn type.
