replacing wc ball valve and installing an isolator

[Marco1976]

Hi,

Our toilet has a flexi connecting the inlet to a pipe coming out of the wall.
There is no isolation valve and I would like to install one when i replace the ballvalve. Is there any flexipipe availabkle that has an inbuilt compression isolation valve so that i can just carry out a straight swap?

Or is it best to attach a compression fitting between existing flexi and wc cistern water inlet?

any advice and link to parts needed for this job would be extremely appreciated.

Thanks

yes

thks, i take it the compression fitting end attaches to the wc cistern inlet or is it the other end?

compression end to the pipe 1/2" fitting to the cistern.
it will only go one way.

So what are you going to do when the flexy needs replacing?

 

[seco services]

same as you would do if an isolation valve needed changing.
