Default 22mm compression fittings: spanners required?

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


I find pipe grips invaluable. They will adjust and grab many hexagonal
shapes, radiator valve bodies etc. Plus they have narrow(ish) jaws so
will fit where stilsons won't.


And chew up fittings!
