Hi this fitting was on my shower but has cracked. Can anyone help me identify it. I have tried a 15mm compression tap connector without the bolt but it's too long.

Looks like a specalist fitting. Probably supplied with the shower itself!

You may be able to reconnect with some pipework alterations...

Thanks I could use one of these with some alterations bit I was trying to avoid messing with the tiles. The tap connectors are longer / internals protrude more on the nut fixing end. (Apologies for description)
 
Why do u need to change it? If it's leaking from by the spinning nut, get a 4 mm( guess) Alan key and in do center of spiny nut. Apply locktight jobs done.

Ok re read op. Get a 1/2 male to femal elbow. Saw off 1/2 of the female socket and thread in the spinny nut bit or try a 1/2 bent union connector?

second photo shows its cracked ermi :)

op, which side needs to connect to the shower ?
 
The side with the spinny nut connects to the shower . The threaded end to the 15 mm copper pipe exiting my wall. ( this also has a spinny nut end)
i considered just a piece of flex hose but not sure there is enough room.
 
Also the Alan key hole is just molded into the elbow. It's not part of the nut or anything. It would not undo.
The elbow has a big crack and is therefore leaking.
The closest thing I have seen is a gas hob elbow connector ?!?!
 
boom, things looks like the same product
