Copper to Plastic - Best method?

swhalley · 16 Nov 2005

Hi

Any thoughts/ideas on connecting tap copper tails 15mm to plastic pipe?

Pop out to B&q and ask there......
Just buy the joint and push the pipes in.. ( dont forget the insert for the plastic!!! )

You can use a standard brass compression fitting as long as you put a pipe insert in your plastic pipe.

i personally like speedfit connectors

I personally like Hepworth demountable fittings - they make dismantling so easy (for when you next replace the taps).

I,d use flexible tap connectors,remove the copper tails and fit directly to threaded tap tail and a compression joint on other end of flexi connector or a push fit speedfit,but don,t forget about inserts when connecting to plastic pipe.
