Hi,

I'm having trouble locating a 15mm compression fitting -

The one end needs to fit onto 15mm copper pipe - the other end needs
to be a male thread 3/4".

Does such a thing exist - I've seen 1 22mm to 3/4 but have all the
other fittings I need in 15mm could put a straight reducer on if I
need to but rater avoid it if possible.

I'm trying to connect the Hozelock timer for the hanging basket
irrigation system directly to the supply pipe to the outside tap -
plan to install a service valve and one way check valve in the
pipework.

The current connection is made via a Hozelock 4 way plastic fitting -
each of the 4 branches have a separate tap to regulate the flow rate
but it's only about 6 years old and the taps leak - Garden Centre /
Sheds want about £ 22 for a new one - since I only need to have the
hose and the irrigation system connected then I figure I can do a
better and cheeper job if I can find the right bits.

Regards

Steve Lowe.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just fit a second tap?

A standard washing machine service valve meets this spec - usually
comes with a pair of short on/off lever in red & blue.

This product is available though not at the sheds or screwfix.

In order not to have to carry a huge range of fittings in the van I
have a 22mm to 3/4 MI fitting and then a 22/15mm reducing olive set.

The 3/4" one looks to be femal - the 1/2" is male but the wrong size -
see what I mean about the right fitting in the right size - maybe it's
the plumbing Holy Grail !!!

Hi - Thanks - did'nt think about a washing machine valve - might have
one in my plumbing box - will also save having to put a service valve
in as well.

If that prospect worries you, don't take the picture in. Just ask for a
3/4in BSP male to 15mm copper compression fitting and look as though you
know they will have one on the shelf.
