Hi all,
I want to change the radiator in the room I'm decorating. The pipe to the old radiator was 10mm microbore. I mistakenly bought 15mm valves for the new radiator.
No problem, I thought... so I bought a 15mm to 10mm compression coupling.
However, when I looked at fitting it I realised that I had two 'females' and needed something to join them.
I could get some pipe and use compression fittings to join the two bits but would rather not do this because of the length.
I could also drain the system and then cut the pipe and use a 'reducing set' (only found out about these after all this hassle) but I would rather not cut the pipe/drain the system etc as this is a bit out of my comfort zone.
So.. does anyone know if there's such a thing as a kind of 'back to back' male connector (15mm) ? I've tried looking on the Homebase and B&Q website to no avail.
I've attached a few pics to hopefully illustrate my problem.
Many thanks for any help you can give me on this.
Cheers
John
