Hi all.
I have a lead (Pb) water supply to an outside toilet in the back yard.
I am going to remove the toilet and then to put a tap on the
old lead supply pipe.
My question is, can I use a compression adapter fitting to convert to
copper?
Also, I've seen B.E.S. have lead to copper connectors but they specify
'lead poundage'
e.g.
Lead to Copper
Part No. Description Unit Price Qty
10270 3/8" x 5 lb lead to 15 mm compression £2.05

10271 1/2" x 6 lb lead to 15 mm compression £2.76

10272 1/2" x 7 lb lead to 15 mm compression £2.60

10273 3/4" x 9 lb lead to 22 mm compression £4.73
The outer diameter of my lead pipe is about 3/4" but
how can I tell which poundage my lead pipework is?

My house is a mid terrace built around 1910.

Thanks for your advice.

Arthur
