Hi, I hope someone can help me as I am really at a loss with this one. I have recently had to change the float valve on my toilet system as the previous one had stopped working. Taking the existing one out was quite a challenge as it was bodged before. I had to hack saw the the plastic screw part off the bottom where it joins to the pipe. Because the pipe work wasn't long enough the installer must have made a part to fit and now I cant replace this part, please see my images for a better idea. What I am after is some sort of pipe with matching connectors on both ends as I need both ends to be able to screw, one to the pipe and one to the plastic screw part of the float valve. I hope I have explained this well enough. Look forward to hearing any advice. Thanks

You will need a straight compression tap connector, a short piece of 15 mm copper, a 15 mm compression ring and re-use the chrome nut from your service valve.

I would hardly call that bodged, it's got a isolation valve on it and then a piece of copper and a tap connector to join to the toilet.
 
Thanks for the replies. I would just like to say that I have no plumbing knowledge so didn't mean to offend by calling it bodged. I took the part into B&Q to see if they could give me something and they said they couldn't help as it was a bodged part. Thanks
 
i actually have a pair of 150mm speedfit flexi's on the van. but in my defense i bought them because i'd never seen them that short before and got excited and they're still on the van, where they'll probably stay.
