Hi, I have bought a new mixer tap for my bathroom basin to install. The flexi hoses come with 3/8 connections and I have an isolation valve to connect to. It’s too large however and I believe I’ll need an adaptor and nut and olive to get these to marry up. The things is it looks like. 3/4 inch connection and I only see 15mm discussed online.

Perhaps I’m measuring it incorrectly? Maybe there’s a better way to connect it?

Please let me know

Thanks

The fitting sizes refer to the pipes, roughly anyway. 15mm fittings will have 1/2" threads, 22mm 3/4". That looks to be a 15mm compression x 1/2" valve.
 
Use the adapters as suggested but you will need to get 2 nuts and olives to fit them to the ISO valves.
