ProDave Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Floor mounted bath tap. Terminates in the ends of two flexi tails emerging through the floor. What fitting to join these to copper pipe. They are a perfect fit onto a straight or elbow 15mm compression fitting but I am sure I have read that is wrong as it would only present a narrow edge to the rubber washer in the flexi fittings. Preferably a right angle fitting, flexi in, an copper out at right angles. Sorry about lousy photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 3/4 x 15mm male "copper to iron" Link to example. Can be bent too or to 22mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Thanks. But on the basis what I have seem to fit a 15mm compression fitting are they not 1/2" rather than 3/4? P.S don't see bent ones at Screwy's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Sorry. Thought most bath flexis would be to 3/4". So same fitting but 1/2 x 15mn. Can't get the staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Thats the thing. Now Fred Drift. Where's the cheapest place for copper pipe 15 and 22mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Prob screwys. You don't need much do you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Screwy' only deliver bundles of 10 and they don't do a bundle of 10 lengths of 22mm but they do seem the cheapest I have tried so far. I thought someone might know another on line supplier? I can't be bothered to even try and work out how much I need so I will start with 10 lengths of each.

Nickfromwales Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Your not pulling plastic for the majority ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Not planning to. Go on convince me? I have a lot of short runs from the airing cupboard to the bathrooms, planning that in all copper. 2 longer runs to kitchen, thinking of using some left over 16 * 2 pex al pex UFH pipe for that. Later on will be the longer runs from ASHP to buffer tank, HW tank and UFH manifolds. I really like copper (apart from the cost) I will take some convincing that plastic will be reliable enough.

joe90 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Well I am one of the converted ones ?. I only used copper but found hep20 brilliant for my build, no joins, push fit ends, better flow due to continuous pipework. What’s not to like ? i used to to be a Luddite but I’m better now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Toolstation do single lengths of copper if you collect from branch. They are the cheapest locally, Selco BM are slightly more expensive, then B&Q etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
