1/2" and 15mm pipes are so similar that you can use 15mm compression or
solder fittings on 1/2" pipe without any problems.

22mm pipe is *slightly* bigger than 3/4". You can use 22mm compression
fittings on 3/4" pipe with special olives - with a slightly smaller ID. You
can get these at a decent PM but maybe not at the sheds.

If you want to use solder fittings to join 22mm and 3/4" pipe, you need
special fittings whose two ends are a slightly different size. Again, you
can get them from a PM - or probably on-line from the likes of BES.
