Thank you.

Sorry Im a bit dense and have only worked with 15mm plastic before not 25 mdpe but are you saying to kick the 25mm over 90 degrees just after it comes out the floor - using a push fit 25 mdpe elbow, then use the adapter in my photo above, then copper and then the 1/4 turn?

Its a belfast sink so not a lot of room in the lower cupboard and I was thinking about running the feed horizontally UNDER the cabinet to then bring it up the rear wall and have the 1/4 turn vertical behind the cabinet with an access hole in the back of the cabinet to get access.

Also is it ok to run 15mm plastic from that adapter to the 1/4 turn or is it best to switch to plastic after the 1/4 turn?

Many thanks - really appreciate the help.

Not quite.
As mdpe comes out if the floor, replace the current brass stopcock with a 25mm elbow mdpe pointing to your 15mm copper and use the reducing set to attach the copper to the elbow.
Then... Cut in a 15mm lever valve on the 15mm copper.

You don't need the additional adaptor, the reducing set converts to 15mm all within the 25mm elbow.

Ah I think I got you, I can see some reducing kits - sets of rings, washers etc online. They go in the outlet of the elbow to give the 15mm.

Screwfix look to do them but not the 25/15 size I need. Could start trying merchants etc but usually rely on the local public places round here.

As a fallback Screw-fix have the inline adapter I posted the pic and I could make that work, need to get it all finished today.

I’ve got the Pegler 1/4 tap already so will stick with that.

Cheers
