What elbow connector for cistern?

[NewOrder]

I am replacing the cistern and the old one was bottom entry, the new one is side entry. I am simply going to run a flexi hose from old pipe connector to the new one. The problem is I need a 90 degree connector that plugs into the male tread on the inlet valve that sticks out of the cistern to the flexi pipe. I assume it is some sort of 15mm female connector but I am not 100% certain which connector I need.

Any ideas?

Thanks

1/2" BSP (tap connector) on fill valve end and 15mm compression on the other.

You might be unlucky and have a 3/8" fill valve but not usual

Can't see any flexis with elbows on screwfix - if you need the elbow type then your local Independent plumbing merchant should be able to help

I have that, but I need the connector that goes into the cistern to be a right angle, otherwise I would bend much too big in the flexi pipe that will cause a kink. It is a standard tap connector on the inlet valve.

Sorry - edited my post as you replied

See above for flexi with elbow

Do flexis with elbows exist? That would solve the problem I will google it now . I just assumed they didn't exist and would to get a female tap connector eblow joint or something.

yes - right angle connector on the 1/2" BSP end is common at decent merchants

Brilliant thanks a lot Now ideally I need to try and find a 400mm one, buy they seem rare at the best times, if not a 300mm should just about fit.

For goodness sake do it properly in copper with an angled tap conn

couldn't agree more but that's not what the OP asked for!

Because that flexi looks like a dogs arnus
