We have a concealed cistern that has come as a deal with a 500mm unit.
The issue we're having is that the cistern is a side entry for the water inlet & from the inlet nut to the unit wall we have only 5cm.
Due to the lack of space we're struggling to find a connector in either push fit or compression.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can adjust the float valve so that it is more into the cistern, play around with the nuts.

Forgot to add, the nut & thread are fixed to the outside of the cistern.

We tried this option of a push fit iso valve but it's not sealing properly
