Best way to extend toilet water inlet pipe?

[aaronic]

Hello all,

I am trying to extent my downstairs toilet pipe inlet. Its a newbuild house, and I have just put laminate flooring under the toilet, which means its about 1.4cm higher than it was.

There is a plastic pipe coming in from outside, which leads to a silver valve which push fits onto the 15mm copper pipe, but the copper pipe is too short now and I have to really bend the whole thing upwards and it still doesn't fit properly.

I was thinking of taking off the toilet, unscrewing the existing copper pipe from the bottom then putting in a new slightly longer one? But if anyone has any ideas I am grateful. The pipes are quite close to the ceramics at the back, so I don't think Ill have room to cut the pipe and attach a 15mm push on coupler unfortunately.

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies. Any help is appreciated.

New bit of 15mm ?

If I am understanding you correctly, the easiest solution would be to put a ½" tap extension on the thread of the ballvalve to give it a little extra length.

^^^ sounds like the easiest option to me

Isn't that 1/2 femal to 1/2 male? It's a tap connector to 1/2 ?
