We live in modern times, so I thought that plug and play has also become common in house installations.

What I mean is that I plan to use flexible hoses for the sink connections. This has been standard for dishwashers for a long time.

If the kitchen is changed in a few years, the connections can be easily adapted to the new layout of the furniture. Without soldering, welding, sawing, or cutting as was required before.

What are your experiences with flexible hoses in the kitchen?

From the angle valve to the fixture? That has been standard practice for what feels like 100 years and it works...

I mean stainless steel braided hoses, not plastic pipes with compression fittings.

From the supply line to the fixture.

And she definitely meant @Domski.

It’s a proven method. What’s the problem?

Whether they will prove reliable or if, for example, there might be issues with water containing lime. Not every material reacts the same way with another, and lime, as we know, does not interact well with aluminum.

I believe none of us really understand your question. Flexible hoses have been running from the wall connections to the fixture for what feels like forever, since 1887. And yes, they have proven reliable. They are sold at every hardware store in standard lengths. However, if you mean to suggest that several meters (yards) may need to be covered, the issue is not the flexible hose, but the drain (slope, bends, etc.).
