Hi I have a 10mm copper Pipe coming out of the wall and to the bottom of a Toilet via a 15mm tap connector . What I am wanting to do is fit a flexi and a isolator , mainly to take some stress off the bottom of the 15mm plasting thread of the WC bottom feed connector ,maybe this is a easy answer but for the life of me I can't seem to get the connectors to do the job , I have a new 15mm flexi (300mm) and a 15mm isolator , the tap connector is fine ,but how do I connect the 15mm compression fitting to the 10mm copper pipe ,( without having a great big extension coming out of the wall ! . I thought the answer would of been just a 10x15mm flexi hose would do the job , but I don't seem to be able to find one ! . cheers Spike
Could you fit a 15mm compression coupling with one of these on the 10mm side? https://www.screwfix.com/p/reducing-set-15-10mm/70435

Hi Thanks for your reply ,but how would I fit the 15mm isolator to that , they will both have male threads !
If you are able to solder onto the 10mm end this may be the neatest, your compression valve or flex will slide on the other end https://www.screwfix.com/p/yorkshire-yp6-solder-ring-reducing-coupler-15mm-x-10mm/25168
As I said it will look ugly but don`t know of 10mm to tap connecter flexi, why do think the need to remove stress from the cistern inlet valve, is it really lopsided or something?
Yes exactly ,there is ways to do it ,but I don't want a chunk of brass/copper sticking out of the wall , as I had mentioned earlier do they not do a 10x15mm slexy
Put one of these on the 10mm. https://www.screwfix.com/p/reducing-coupler-fitting-15mm-x-10mm/51238 And fit flexi directly to 15mm side, or add one of these. https://www.screwfix.com/p/fltt38-flexible-tap-adaptors-15mm-x-3-8-2-pack/6089r
Notonly that to also put a isolator in the line as well , have known the plastic thread on a WC cracking ! .
How would I fit the flexi to the reducer , they have both the same connectors ! , and I also want to fit a isolator .
Look guy's I know I can use pieces of copper pipe to join the compression fitting's , but I was wanting to use something a bit neater and less , I an going to silver solder some fitting's to get what I want . thanks for all your inputs to try and help me get a nice neat job in a nice neat bathroom . spike
You can cut the rubber washer if you go too tight and there are that type of isolator with a smooth face for the rubber washer now.
