I'm trying to improve the water flow at my home. It is supplied by 7/8" [external diameter] galvanized/iron pipe which I am replacing with 25mm MDPE.
Some background - I contacted Severn Trent and they quoted around £900 to reconnect to my MDPE which is just too much money. I called them to ask why it is such a high cost and they said the water main is the other side of our road and they would need to dig up the road to replace the pipe from their main to the stop tap and then dig up the pavement to reconnect my MDPE to the stop tap.
So I thought I'd replace the iron pipe up to the boundary of my house to see if that makes much difference to the flow first. There's probably around a 10m run of iron to the house so I'm hoping it will help.
The question is, how can I connect my 25mm MDPE to a sawn off 7/8" galvanized iron pipe? Can anyone advise? Thanks!
