Contact a commercial pipe hydraulic supplier like Hydrasun or BBS.
They will be able to supply imperial size stainless olives or a new joint.

My friend has got a leak in a 3-way compression joint on a stainless
steel pipe.

The joint is for the hot-water pipe to the bath.
It is a 'reducer' type - large diameter pipe in, large diameter pipe
to the tap and smaller diameter pipe out.

I'd like to replace this joint - or at least the washers.

I have 2 questions :-

1) Is fitting a compression joint to stainless steel pipes any more
difficult than fitting one to copper pipes?

2) Given that these pipes are ~30 years old, will the pipe diameters
be 15mm & 22mm or 1/2" and 3/4"?

Thanks,
Mark.
