1 inch bath taps to 22mm copper

[Fettled]

I'm changing bath taps for a newer set.
Having removed the plywood panel I find the piping is 22mm.
The outer diameter of the bath taps is 1 inch.
Awkward as hell to get to. Was, perhaps naively thinking it'd be a straightforward flexi job but can't see any flexis for 1 inch to 22mm.
Do I connect copper 1 inch to 22mm reducers and a length of 22mm copper to the bath taps before screwing the taps to the bath?
Any advice please.

What you have is standard bath taps, 3/4" BSP which measures 26.4mm O.D.

Is it inch pipe you have to convert to 22mm.

As long as you have a new bath tap and 22mm.you should have no problem except bath taps can be one of the most awkward jobs to do... Possibly not a Sunday job...

I was under the impression it was 22mm he had to convert to 1"

I find the piping is 22mm.

If he has 22mm copper pipe then converting to a bath tap will be standard with what ever he chooses to use in terms of fittings

All standard... But bath taps. Can be a pig to change..

Just be sure the pipe is 22 mm and not 3/4 imperial pipe

Just google "22mm Flexible Tap Connector", screwfix have plenty of options.

Thanks all for comments. Is there a flexi that connects 22mm copper to 1 inch bath taps? Seems hard to find, maybe doesn't exist.
Getting a compression connection on the existing copper to a new set of taps is going to be hard.

Seems to be a good supply of 22mm compression to 3/4inch threaded connnection flexi. Could I reduce the bath taps to 3/4 inch with some sort of reducer before dropping them into place? (Then the above mentioned flexi would work)

Are you sure they're 1"? Taps are generally 3/4"

Just had my calipers measuring... 1 inch outside diameter, including threads, 3/4in inside diameter. Is that a 1 inch?

One of these, 22mm pipe into the compression end then a 22mm female flex between your supply and tap tail.

precise outside thread size is 1.025 inches. Judging by this article https://www.bestmaterials.com/PDF_Files/Pipe-sizes-threads.pdf it may be that a 3/4 inch connector will fit. Is that right?
Also if its in a real swine of a tight spot is it possible/practical to use two connectors to give yourself more length?
