Our office plumbers have done something strange in the toilet, and it's causing a problem.

We have a 15mm copper pipe coming out of the wall. They've connected the check-valve end of the flexible hose (shown in the first picture below) to the 15mm copper. Then, presumably because 300mm isn't long enough to get to a tap, they've taken a second flexible fitting (see pic 2), taken the compression nut off, and screwed this into the tap fitting. The sharp points where the olive should go have gradually bitten into the rubber and its now leaking.

Is there a fitting I could use to do this properly, or am I best to replace the washer and hope for a better outcome? Ideally I don't want to remove the check valve hose because it's a shared office block and we don't have our own stop-cock.

Thanks

Oh and it's not a check valve, Pic1 is a tap connector with an integrated ISO valve.

I wouldn't play with 2 flexi's though, either get one that's long enough or preferably get it piped up properly
