Default Need to connect old plastic BS3505 pipe to modern pipework

Looks like just normal Imperial Size Pipe.


So what fits it? It's neither 1/2" nor 3/4"


IIRC imperial pipe measures the ID, metric the OD.

17OD - (2 wall x 2) = 13 pretty close to 1/2"...

1/2" compression would take up the slack but finding an insert might
be fun get the tightest fitting one you can.
