Do I need a reducing coupler? (plumbing)
 
Due to air in the hot water shower feed, I'm going to fit a Salamander S
Flange to our DHW cylinder.

The outlet to the shower is a 22mm compression joint as you can see in the
picture in the link above. The existing shower feed is in 15mm copper. I've
been looking at what I can use to connect 15mm copper straight into the
flanges 22mm fitting.

I've found a 22mm x 15mm reducing coupler:

Will this do the job?

Thanks!

That would do the job but you will need a short piece of 22mm copper
between the two.

A tidier and better looking job would be to use a reducing set

obtainable from plumbing shops (not sure about the sheds) and no soldering
required.
