How do I connect a 15mm copper pipe to a 22 mm tap

[dylanswall]

I know it is a stupid question, but here goes.

I have a 15 mm copper pipe that I have attached an isolation valve to. I now want to connect this to my tap, using a flexible hose. Two questions:

Can I connect the hose straight on to the end of the isolation valve's compression joint?

If so, how. I have been to screwfix and all the flexible hoses they sell seem to have the same diameter joints at each end. I thought it would be simple to find one with a 15mm at one end and 22 mm at the other. Am I being very stupid and missing something?

No not stupid - you can get a flexi- 15mm to 3/4" connector.

Have a look at http://www.screwfix.com/cats/101316/Plumbing/Flexible-Hoses

That is what I did. I bought this one:

The only trouble being one end fits the tap but the other is way to big to fit the compression joint of a 15mm isolation valve.

Am I being really stupid.

Are all tap connections the same diameter and therefore when screwfix flexible hose dimensions are 22mm x 3/4 x 300 x 13mm. The 22mm is referring to the end that connects to the pipe and not the tap?

As I said you need the 15mm x 3/4"
You got the wrong one at 22mm x 3/4"
