Can I use push fit type tap connectors on toilet fill valve

[Tezzer2022]

Hello,
I have a troublesome fixed 15mm copper pipe with isolation valve going to my toilet fill valve. It's too tight for a Flexi hose. Can I use a push fit tap connector instead which will give me more flexibility in fitting?

Absolutely! A push-fit tap connector is suitable for providing flexibility and ensuring a secure connection without the need for soldering. Ensure compatibility with your pipe size and material for a leak-free installation. Good luck!

Just make sure it is not under too much strain as this can lead to a leak, or indeed the complete failure of the fitting within a few years ( the plastic fitting can shear)

That is really good to know.
Thanks

You could try a long flexi and make it a wider loop than trying to squeeze it thought a tight turn
