Flexi tap hose sought, but female at both ends

[tim+]

I've got a new toilet bidet that has come with a braided hose that
is too short to be routed the way I need to do it.

It looks like the kind used for kitchen mixer taps but it has a
female connector on each end.

I need one 30-36" long. Any suggestions?

I maybe a a gender changing connector and then a long tap hose?

Can you put another flexible one to that braided hose? It won't look good.

I think you would be better off having solid pipe closer to your bidet.
And then a short flexible braid hose for the last bit.

I suspect I go for the “cludgy” approach and just re-route all the 15mm
pipework so that the T-piece for the hose is closer to where it needs to
go. Fortunately all the pipework will be concealed. A longer hose would
have been nice but on comparing the threads on my hose with some old mixer
tap ones that were lurking in my “plumbing bits” box, it’s a different
thread.

I suspect it’s the size that is popular on the continent for plumbing
toilet cisterns.

If it is just a long hose you are after then Screwfix do 900mm, 1000mm and
even 1500mm they have a 15 mm compression fitting on one end and 1/2” BSP
on the other. What is the end on the Bidet and what have you got on the
copper pipe feeding it?

That's what I'd do - Screwfix and Toolstation seem to have a clearance on
long tap hoses + short piece of copper pipe.

Something like this will do the trick, you can get compression fitting
version if you are not confident with soldering

Many people use compression fitting stop valves removing the nut and olive
off one end and screwing the flexi on. Unlike the fitting above which has a
flat mating surface, a compression fitting will have a tapered end to suit
the olive and could result in an unsatisfactory join damaging the seal.

Half inch fittings way too big. Have another look at my picture. The
T-piece connects using conventional ½” fittings but the hose uses a smaller
size. Doesn’t appear to be common in the UK but I’m sure I’ve seen similar
sub-½ “ fittings on toilet cisterns in France.
