What connection do I need for this - cistern and mains

[markyyyyyy]

Hi all

I am putting in a new toilet. I need to connect a hose from the mains (isolation valve - see image) to the plastic thread on the cistern.

On my CURRENT toilet, there is a copper 90 degree pipe that goes into the side of the toilet through a hole, to which the washer hose connects.

I need to connect directly from the mains (isolation valve - see image) to the cistern plastic thread.

What hose do I need? I think I need this:

... but the only issue is that I need some form of copper pipe coming from the isolation valve, to which I need to connect the hose to.

Many thanks

That's it... and a nut and olive to connect 15mm pipe to iso. If it's bottom entry valve, don't tighten the valve up too much on the cistern floor. Do your flexi connecting first then tighten up .

Cheers - could you send me a link to the nut and olive that I would need so I can get a picture of what I need. Thanks

no good at keyboards. If you google something like compression fit 15mm elbow you'll see a nut either end. An olive is a copper or brass coloured wedding ring lookalike.
