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.

Bollox.

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:
