They will both work .Just make sure you keep and use the two inserts.

Yes..I was thinking about cutting the nut in half and make a bigger hole underneath and that should do it ?

Yes, just buy a sink overflow and use the bits you need.

You need a 1/2 inch female x 1/2 inch male fitting. That will take the place of your nut and allow you to connect your tails. You may need a washer or two that will act as a spacer or that fitting might tighten up against the worktop.

That photo is confusing as it looks like you are trying to join two flexi's ? What do you have in your right hand that you will be fitting to the iso valve ?

I've got a fernox tf1 on my boiler and a 3/4 inch flexi tap connector fits straight on it to make draining/flushing into a bucket easier.

It's 1/2 inch BSP...my fifty years tells me that. A 3/4 inch would have a bigger float. Also , back in the day I would cut a washer down to fit what is needed here.

It looks like a 1/2 inch BSP ballvalve to me.

Plumbing superstore sell them

The good old 24 cdi's from the mid/late 90's.Fitted a 100 or more back in the day but probably time for a new boiler. These were non condensing boilers so you will need some alterations.

What a load of hassle, time and expense. Sling the hose and fit something like this or one that will screw straight onto the iso valve. Job done.

In post six you showed a picture of your hot & cold flexi hoses and they look completely different to each other.One will fit straight onto a flat faced iso valve and one has a male iron fitting.Did they come like that or have you altered the cold hose ?

just get a flat faced iso valve and screw your flexi onto that with a washer.There was no need for that brass fitting.

What was the need for the brass female x 15mm fitting ? why did you not use a piece of copper between the flexi and valve ?

How would a male nipple help him ?
