Hi,
As the title says, what do I use to connect a 1/2" flex hose to this female thread (about 20 mm internal) on the toilet cistern? Thanks.

What cistern is it ? I have never seen a female connection on a concealed cistern.

It's an infinity from splashdirect: http://www.splashdirect.com/catalog...ng-frame-incl-dual-flush-button/category/187/

One of these will probably do the trick, the 1/2" size.

Half inch bsp brass nipple maybe. Seal with ptfe wraps.

Thanks guys. I'd like an elbow version if I can find it.

Brass M/F elbow then one of the above nipples. M/F = Male/Female.

15mm compression elbow, chuck away nuts and olives, seal with Loctite 55.

Or, 15mm x 15mm flexi hose, remove nut and olive from one end, seal with Loctite 55.
