Hi had a guy come fit a new shower for me and he had taken the compression nut off the shower waste and solvent welded the end of a flexi hose connector directly to the waste outlet will this be ok?

He didn't put an adapter on just straight in
 
Depends on the plastic on both items but if it’s designed for a compression nut I would say no
 
So the red marked elbow on the waste taken off and the red mark part on the hose glued in. Seems bodge but should it be ok ran water through and no leaks?

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.
