I would not reccoment using this type of fitting as it looks like it just cuts a small bore hole into the pipe, I used this to be lazy on my last place and it restricts the water, your better off getting some push fits and just plumbing in a standard tap and pipe mate.

very simple to do, or cheap if you dont want to do it yourself

hi mate

I use the mains from my washing machine, just brought one of the cold water pipes and cut the end of, and use it when the washing machine is not in use, it works well, good pressure to.

Will have to do it the hard way then just a pain for getting to the pipes to cut and rejoin  :-[

what im going to do is convert my bathroom sink tap from tank fed to mains supply so i can leave it filling up containers in the bath over night  ;D ;D

Trying to get a house at the moment but it takes time  :( :(

Glad it went ok.
Going over to static tank is best way forward.
