8mm microbore into 15mm towel rad

red7jase · 19 Sep 2006

Hi

I am fitting a towel rad in my bathroom. It requires 15mm valves but i have 8mm microbore pipes coming out of the floor.
What do i need to buy to join them up - please dont tell me i need to change the 8mm micobore to 15mm pipework.

thanks

15-8mm reducing set, replaces the 15mm olive, eg

Thanks for your speedy reply can you elaborate a touch more (sorry bit of a novice) if i get one of these sets does it just go on the end of the 8mm pipe and then into 15mm hole in the rad
Also where can i get one of these
thanks
Ps i am sorry if this sounds dim

It goes on the 8mm pipe and makes it like 15mm, with bits designed to go into where the 15mm pipe would go in, on a radiator valve. So it becomes part of the compression fitting.
Any merchant should have them, or right-click the pic /properties/ for the site and part number.
