Hello, I was hoping someone here might be able to help. I need to replace an isolator valve on the inlet supply to a toilet. It's a 1/2" fitting - one end is connected to the water supply with a compression fitting, and the other end fits on to the thread of the toilet inlet valve. The problem is, I bought a replacement but it's too short (I assumed they would all be a standard size/length?), but comparing the two side by side I can see that the original valve has a longer 'collar' - not sure if that's what it's called, but I've attached photos of the original one in situ and the replacement. You can see the new one is a good 10mm shorter.
Unfortunately there is no wiggle room on the cold water supply so I need to try and find one the same size if possible. Has anyone come across these different sizes before and know where I can get one? I think I bought the original from Plumb Center (it was about 15 years ago!) but can't find a similar size in B&Q, Homebase etc.
Thanks in advance.
