Flexi screwed on to iso valve

[jeff the gasman]

Thank you, I asked at the plumbers merchants I use this morning but they don't sell them. Does filing down the iso valve not give it a flat enough surface?

Yes.

Is that how you do it?

No, I've never had an issue using a chamfered fitting. Don't over tighten. Just enough to stop any drips.
This is not rocket science. Be careful and let your gung Ho feelings go to the back. X

Just straight on to an iso valve then?

I usually set this up with stubs coming outta the wall, bent iso's onto these and then flexi's screwed straight on but as Jeff said, I don't graunch them: just watertight and then an extra nip!
No problems thus far!
