I have a Torbeck inlet valve for a new toilet I intend to fit today.
Problem is, its a bottom inlet valve and the brass thread that goes through
the cistern has no internal shoulder to push up a pipe and screw on
in fact the hole is very small.
There is an additional threaded nut on the outside, but no instructions
or apprant way for connecting the copper (or plastic) incoming mains to this

I bought this fitting, which fits, but presumably I use PTFE tape on the 2
touching brass threads
and make sure the rubber washer sits inside?

Is this right?/wrong?
can anyone help me find a way to connect the pipework to this please?
thanks

The rubber will bear directly on the nose of the inner thread, so
there's no need to seal between the two brass threads.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

I'd say the adapter on the left is designed to mate and seal with the larger
threaded piece on the right, it may incidentally seal the smaller pipe too
but that's not guaranteed, seal the threads too.

Personally, I'd not use the brass adaptor or the push fit fixing. I'd use a
1/2" tap connector (usually right angle "serviceman", with built in
isolation valve), which is what toilet fill valves invariably require.

Personally, I'd use a chrome compression type to connect to chrome pipe into
the wall. I'd only switch to plastic when it wasn't in view.

If you must use push fit:

This doesn't have a valve built in, but is white, so would look better than
a grey system on modern sanitaryware.
