Full bore or Lever valve?

[WC1]

You can stick a flexi straight on. Just slightly more than hand tight. You can get "flat faced" specially for flexi but not sure they come as a butterfly.

I have a 22mm bath filler tap and 15mm pipes. So I need a flexi that will connect from the bath tap to an isolation valve that is full bore and if possivle lever - but screw operation is acceptable.

But it doesn't say they are full bore.

Am I correct in thinking that isolation valves should be somehwere on the pipe and that service valves are on the end of the pipe where the flexi tails are?

Any valve is in essence a service valve.

I always use full bore lever valves, there is rarely a situation where it can’t fit. If needed, cut down the handle or put it in the vise and bend it.

If you’re gonna attach a rubber flexi to it, I always give the compression end a slight file to flatten it.
