Connecting flexihose to WC cistern

[dannynolan]

The pushfit connector from toolstation looks the easier option, any reason not to go with this option.

If we go with the screwfix option, how does the bottom of it connect to a straight copper pipe?

Many thanks in advance.

It doesn't have an isolation valve?

Thanks for that, sorry I should have mentioned there is already an isolation valve on the pipe.

If it's more than a few years old stick a new one on.

Good advice. It's a 'tap' and tbh when I first turned it a couple of weeks ago with the help of WD40 and a spanner, probably about 15 years after it last turned, I was worried about something shearing.

Replacing an old isolation valve sounds like a sensible choice, especially if it has not been used for many years. Even if it still turns, worn fittings can become unreliable, so fitting a new valve before connecting the flexihose seems like a worthwhile precaution. It's always better to avoid potential leaks later on.

For me a piece of copper pipe always. Have seen these flexy connectors destroyed by bleach fumes from bowl cleaner
