Hello All!
I'm sure this is very basic stuff, however I am a complete novice but think this is one of those jobs I really don't need to pay someone else to do )
The isolation valve on the mains supply to my toilet is leaking, the pipe to the current valve is copper, the valve is then a plastic type with a small tap, the pipe above that that goes into the toilet is plastic.
I was going to get a metal compression type, one of these:

But wondered if this is ok to use when fitting from copper to plastic?
So I then wondered If I should get a plastic one similar to the one that is currently in place, such as this?

Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks alot
