Default using braided hose behind studwork

I'm fitting a concealed citern loo and the final plumbing connection
currently uses a braided flexible hose with a tap connector on one
end.

A hose like this:

Once the studding wall is built there will be no access to this hose.
Is this considered OK or should I be using copper for this connection?

thanks,

Robert


Surely you have a removal panel for the loo cistern? Can't you make
the panel a bit bigger to get access to the flexi? Or extend the fixed
pipework and have a shorter flexi to the cistern - that is accessible?
