Stopcock connection

danrhope · 9 Sep 2014

Hello you helpful lot.
I'm racking my brains but I can't figure out how to connect this stopcock to 22mm copper pipe at either end.

I'm trying to make a novel set of kitchen taps ( feel free to take the mick ) but can't figure out how to connect these chaps up.

Any help would be really appreciated

Thanks
Dan

Looks like you will have to solder 22mm copper pipe inserted at each end.

Ah great thanks
I was thinking of compression but of course... I am stupid... But a little less stupid now!

Thanks again

If you want a tight elbow out of an end you can use a "street" elbow. They're male one end female the other, and come in 90 or 45 degrees.
Keep looking and you'll see some are more "swept" (bigger radius) than others.
Also Yorkshire/solder ring ones look a bit more quirky.

Take the guts out before you solder it or it will knacker the washer.
