Flexible type to extend 3/4" to fit into top of toilet tank now

[paulfoel]

Currently seems to be 15mm pipe isoltaion valve conntedted directely to toilet inlet. Assume this is 3/4" screw thread.

Anyway, new toilet is side entry only. What bests approach here? Can I even buy a 3/4" extension like this?

Or cut off the isolation valve and buy a 15mm pushfit to 3/5" screw flexible?

It'll be 1/2", flexi can be used but copper tube is preferable. If using push fit you must cut the tube with a tube cutter, jagged edges left by use of a hacksaw will shred the O ring in a push fit fitting and cause a leak.

To be honest I must buy a new cistern. £35 screwfix for bottom entry concealed one. A lot less hassle I think....

Probably should have checked before I bought the one I've got (from Better Bathrooms).

Should be able to return the unused one if its wrong type ordered?

Ordered it months ago unfortunately but we'll see what we can do.
