Hi Folks,
A quick Google hasn't turned up any sources, so does anyone have a
source of fittings to connect 5mm plastic tubing to (say) 15mm copper
pipe?


How about a "Gardena Micro Drip Irrigation - Master Unit 1000 1355 -20"
from
http://www.grovelands.com/acatalog/G..._watering.html

"Supplied with fittings to enable either ½" (13mm) Supply Tube or 3/16"
(4.6mm) Branch Tube to be fitted directly to the unit. A stainless steel
clip enables quick & easy connection or disconnection to the tube."

So the 4.6mm fitting should be ok if the tube is a but stretchy!

this will do the pressure reducing too :-)

Possible, but you may not want to site one of these in the house. IME,
products like this, intended for use in the garden, lack the
"continence" required for installation in the house.
