I've got two flexi pipes with a monobloc tap - see picture below.

View media item 20840
What goes on the other end of these fittings? I need to get them onto 15mm copper.

A link to a screwfix item or similar would be fantastic. All help appreciated.

But the compression fitting has an internal taper for a compression olive and this may not seal properly with the flex fitting.

You really need a threaded connection with a flat/square end for the rubber washer to seal against.
 
A male iron fitting has a nice flat edge on its threaded side, which can accommodate a rubber or fibre washer :)

Seco is right though, a ballofix will kill two birds with one stone :)

It may be a bit sharper edge but will still seal ok against a rubber washer.

Btw those look like a 3/8 connection but hard to tell from the photo.
