Isolating flow into toilet

[sjw64]

Hi

Im replacing the flush syphon in my toilet cistern which means the removal of the cistern from the pan. This is no problem but will have to turn off the supply to the whole house while Im dong it as there is no stop cock/valve etc that I can find.

While Im doing this I may as well fit a new isolating valve of some description to the existing pipework going into the cistern. Can anyone suggest what I could fit, either adding to or replacing the cluster of pipes in the photo. ideally something similar to a flexi tap connector if anything exists for this size pipe.

There's not much room to work in back there.

Something like this will do the job. Make sure you use an insert in the plastic pipe. You should have a few spare inserts from the elbow when you cut it out.

You can get cheaper ones but this is a good quality one.

Just the job ...thanks

Although I dont understand what you mean about 'inserts'

These:

But you should be able to recycle the ones that are already there.

You must put an insert in the end of the plastic pipe before you push a fitting on.
