Connecting a normal sink tap outlet to a WC cistern valve?

[DudleyTriShell]

Hi everyone, nice to meet you all.

I am a cistern collector and from time to time I like to test them.

What I want to know is, is it possible to securely connect a normal sink tap to a cistern's float ball valve without it leaking? So I can turn on the tap and have it act as a water feed to the float ball valve without any leaks from both ends? If there is, what item do I need to do this?

I've tried hose-pipes and PVC bath/shower hoses, but I can never secure them into the float valve inlet properly, they leak and end up bursting when the pressure of the float valve closes in the cistern as it fills up.

My sink tap looks like this:

And this is the 1/2" brass float valve I have in the cistern:

So to sum up, is there a way of securely connecting the above tap and valve together without leakages from either end?

Any help will be most appreciated, thanks for your time.

Can't see how you can connect anything to the spout of the tap without it blowing off or leaking.

I can't picture what you want to do...

Why not have a 15mm lever valve with a filing loop hose connected to its outlet. This will then screw (hand tight) into most float valves; plus give a decent tolerance for differing sized cisterns.

Hmm in that case, I'll manage one end first. What can I use that is strong and flexible that can connect securely to the 1/2" float valve? Can I use a flexible tap connector for it? Such as one like this:

Trying to do this but without leakage on either end:

I'm not too knowledgeable on plumbing items, any links to the '15mm lever valve' and 'filing loop hose' items you mention?
