My way means you have the shortest possible length to cut out of existing 15mm pipe with least joints to make (they don't make a reducing MI to Copper but other makes will), the clip is 15 & it looks like it fits it correctly.
I would look to fit the flat washers before screwing in the brass bushes but you will need to see how it all fits together first.

Thanks a lot Chris, and thanks for that male threaded connector fitting suggestion -- actually, i had just found that fitting myself on the uk.RS-online site before i saw your post, so you confirmed to me my next line of direction. Actually, i prefer to go with the elbow version of that fitting for space reasons.. i trust that would that do the same job, no??

i would then want to join the pipe with another set of 15mm sharkbite elbows, which will allow the pipe to twist away from the wall so the filter unit is not squashed up. The unit is also designed to go slanted at an angle if needed. But basically you answered and confirmed what i needed to know, with the teflon tape link as well - many many thanks! I feel more confident now that i bounced my ideas and got good feedback.

If something fails, i plan to just pop the cutted pipe back with two sharbite couplings. If that fails too, i'll call out a plumber. But, i feel i am up to the challenge...!

Thanks very much!
