I have bought a tap with 2 flexible tails (rubber washer for the

I want to fit isolation valves - the ones I have seen have compression
fittings at each end. I presume I want something a bit different to
attach the flexible. Any pointers?

Do the flexibles screw into the tap at one end and have a female with a
rubber washer at the other.

Like the connector on the left end here

If so the female will fit straight onto the isolating valve & seal.

If your flexibles end in compression fittings then a short piece of copper
tube will sort it.
