Hey,
I have 10mm plastic pipe feeding a radiator in my bathroom. On one side I have the TRV and the other the valve. The compression joint at the TRV to pipe is leaking. I have tried tightening it a bit but its slightly worse so I think I am just mangling the olive...
At the valve end the 10mm goes into an adaptor into what looks like 15mm pipe and that goes straight into the valve. At the TRV end the 10mm goes into the bottom of the 15mm fitting but there seems to be a big olive(?) in there. I'm guessing this is a reducer that fits into the compression fitting.
I would ask the plumber that fitted it back but he did the job as a favour several years back as he was dating the wife’s cousin at the time...
Is this what I am looking for?

Will the 10mm pipe go into one end, and I can then put an insert an olive on the other end that I am hoping is 15mm and put that on the TRV?
Thanks!
David.
