thanks shaun for your reply
going onto lead pipe in this order?

1 locking nut
2 rubber o ring
3 t shaped olive flat end next to o ring
4 fitting

the question is does oring go to 15mm fitting end or lead end after locking nut

oring lead end

It could be either A or B.
It depends on the shape of the inside of the fittings.

Does the locking nut have a square base or a tapered base.
The same with the internals of the fitting the locking nut screws to.

I'm leaning towards B.
There's no way that O ring would put up with the force of squashing the olive around the pipe as in Pic A

Hi. I need a new toilet supply line but don’t know the size type of the fitting at the shut off valve. It is not 3/8 compression. It is a plastic nut about the same size as the one going into the cistern but has a different thread. Attached is a photo. Can you advise. Thanks.
