The hole was easy to cut with that holesaw. Very good advice to use that, thanks. :y

I didn't use anything extra with the compression fittings and they were east to fit and are not leaking.

The tap was a bit fiddly to get the flexi-tails fitted as it was a cheap one off eBay, only £14

The total cost of the job was about £70.

I'm very pleased with the results.  Thanks again for all the advice. :y :-* :-* :-*

Yes, they were really fiddly due to being cheap. It was hard to get the threads to bite and the flexi's to go in straight and not cross threaded.

Have you consderer a fire blanket for your kitchen, a very useful item for those rare circumstances that you need them.

I would recommend one just big enough to cover a double garage, very useful.
