Thanks, again. Does that mean my suggested 15x15 radiator tail would not fit the compression iso valve?

It will fit it. A radiator rail is actually 15mm ‘pipe’ and with a 1/2” male thread end

Haha. Blinking ek, I'm more confused now. Haha tI meant use a 15mm x 1/2” male straight.
The threads are actually 1/2” both sides, but one end has a flat face which will suit flat washer end of flexi.
Other end is for 15mm copper
But isn't designed for potable water, probably. And won't serve a purpose: if the point of using a rad tail valve is to avoid putting a 1/2" threaded flexi onto a thread that's really designed for a compression olive, then I can't see the advantage of screwing onto a thread that's really designed for putting into a radiator and thread sealing. It's possibly a taper fitting too.It will fit it. A radiator rail is actually 15mm ‘pipe’ and with a 1/2” male thread end
Thanks. I'll give them a buzz tomorrow. I'm wondering if longer monobloc tails would be easier or wiser. But then, I bet some rad tails would be cheaper.900mm even. The BES website is pretty poor, so I phone in my orders these days and use the catalogue. If you get a WRAS one you shouldn't go far wrong.
Welcome to plumbing you say...But isn't designed for potable water, probably.

Oops. Yes, you're right. But hey, that would have been sensible and far too easy. Enjoy Charlotte Brontë. Are listening to Kate Bush whilst reading?Right. So you have a monobloc tap with 10mm thread? Would have been useful to put that in your opening post. Anyway, it's late. I'm going back to my Charlotte Bronte novel and then bed.
