Flexible Pipe (Flexi)

A braided stainless steel hose used to connect taps, toilets, and appliances to the water supply, accommodating minor positional variations. Flexi pipes are convenient but have a limited service life of around 10 years and can fail catastrophically if the inner rubber lining perishes or the stainless braid corrodes. Regular inspection and replacement before failure is recommended.
