Advice needed on what JG Speedfit fitting to use please

[dazzystar]

Hi All,

I want to attach a flexible 1/2 inch hose to my 15mm copper pipe that feeds our toilet as the pipe needs to be cut down as it's too high. I've never used JG Speedfit fittings before and nor have I cut a pipe but cutting the pipe I can handle but I don't know what JG part I need as it needs to be 15mm on one end to go in the pipe and have a 1/2 inch male thread on the other so I can screw on the flexible hose. Can anyone help please?

Cheers
Daz

Buy a hose with a 15mm compression fitting at one end and 1/2in BSP thread on the other end. The compression end goes onto the pipe ,tightened with 2 spanners.

At £7 each, wow !

 

[dazzystar]

Thanks but what goes on the copper pipe once I've cut it?

 

[terryplumb]

Using my suggested Flexi ? The compression fitting would.
Or Using the fitting that jammy suggested ( and has now disappeared from his post)??

Get one of these.
Bottom end goes on the copper pipe you have cut down.
The other end is flat faced so you can connect the flexi female socket on to it.

Added bonus is you can use the isolator when any future repairs are needed to cistern components AND the flexi.

I took it that OP already had the flexi or was planning to get one, so their question was about connecting it to the copper! Prepared to be corrected if wrong... But that is how I read it!

You could just get a standard isolator valve (ballofix) and file down the outlet side so that it becomes flat faced.
