Source of 6mm copper pipe soldered fittings...
....specifically, I'm after soldered end-caps for 6mm copper pipe, but
I can't seem to find suppliers. For various reasons compression joints cannot be used. Any confirmed source of these much appreciated. Cheers |

Cheers I am most certainly not a plumber or heating engineer, but given that neither Yorkshire nor Conex nor Flowflex make 6mm end caps in end feed or solder ring, I imagine you will struggle to find them anywhere. |

Yup - this is the problem I've had - everything starts at 8mm. And I've looked all over... Hammering the end flat & soldering is not an option - there are cosmetic reasons for this. Worst comes to worst, I'll knock something up on the lathe, but I'd like to keep it simple... Cheers |

Size availability: 6mm -67mm , suitable for connecting copper tubes in accordance with EN1057.
