Stephen coughed up some electrons that declared:
Hello,
What size spanners do you need for 22mm straight compression fittings?
The nuts are 32mm but what about the flange on the middle of the body?
I measured it with a vernier calliper and I think it was 28.5mm, which
seems an awkward size. Rounding that up to 29mm, I could not find any
29mm spanners anywhere. Would a 30mm spanner be too big or do you
"cheat" and use adjustable ones?
Thanks,
Stephen
Nothing "cheating" about using adjustable spanners Unless space is
tight
and you need a slim normal spanner.
A good quality Bahco in a couple of sizes deals with many evils.
Bahco are overpriced and rust.
These are better..

What make does it fit? The nuts are all different from maker to maker.
One of these which is brill as it locks - Stanley lockable adjustable smooth
jaws. About £20, but seen one for £10 at a tool stall once:
