A tap pipe extension ( 11 ) comprises a first end ( 13 ) provided with first securing means to releasably secure the first end ( 13 ) to a tap inlet ( 5 ), a second end ( 14 ) provided with second securing means to releasably secure the second end to a fluid supply pipe ( 9 ), and a non-round formation ( 19 ) at a position remote from the first end ( 13 ), the pipe extension ( 11 ) being of a length greater than the length of the tap inlet ( 5 ). The arrangement is such that, in use, the non-round formation ( 19 ) is operable to secure the first securing means of the tap pipe extension ( 11 ) to the tap inlet ( 5 ). The tap pipe extension ( 11 ) may comprise a rigid tubular body ( 12 ) formed at opposite ends thereof with screw threads ( 17, 18 ). Alternatively the tap pipe extension ( 11 ) may comprise a rigid tubular body ( 12 ) to the lower end of which is secured a flexible hose ( 44 ), and the free end of the flexible hose ( 44 ) is provided with said second securing means.
