I have a broken cistern and the replacement doesn't fit perfectly with the hard coppered feed. I have a an isolator valve (40 yo) that doesn't close completely and I therefor wish to change that at the same time as plumbing in the new bottom fill cistern valve.
The simplest way (I see) is a flat faced isolator valve https://www.toolstation.com/flat-faced-male-straight-isolating-valve/p95064 and a
https://www.toolstation.com/flexi-hose-300mm/p24989? Are these cheap components fail safe or should I buy better. Ideally I would like a lever rather than a screw on the isolator, but I cannot source one easy with a flat face. I could but a 15mm x 15mm Pegler say with a lever and put a
adaptor and connect hose to that.
Is that preferable although introducing another weak point for leaks.

Tap Tail Adaptors
These two tap tail adaptors give you the connections you need to fit your flexible tap tails with 15 mm isolation valves. The helical screw threads fix tightly onto the tap tail to make installation easy. The small size ensures you save space around the fitting and simplifies your set-up. The...
