1/2" to 15mm pipe connector

asnoop20 · Monday at 12:42 PM

Trying to find a connector that goes from 15mm pipe without the need for two brass pieces to a 1/2" connector.

In other words, replacing the one on the upper right with the one on the left. The snag is the copper as about 3mm of pipe internally which will prevent a flush fit.

I could cut the excess off and it is tempting but it feels like there's another correct connector for the job?

I struggling to understand what you are looking for. What does it connect?

To connect a male and female connector together.

Still too vague .

but for next time at least I wonder if there's one without the additional copper.

The one I linked to? But no, there isn't a loose ring version like that. Is it for a toilet cistern, or what?

Don't alter fittings for gas. It's dangerous and illegal.

The end feed one is completely unsuitable.

Looks like a connection for gas hob.
DO NOT INSTALL

So back to the question, there's no other piece to do it, it's brass piece then brass to 15mm/olive, 4 nuts (the one I have top right in picture)?

No. But gas advice is not allowed.

You obviously don't know what you are doing.
Stop playing with gas

I know you guys love it, but let's say I'm connecting to a toaster - a water cooled toaster.

But you aren't. DIY gas work is illegal, you aren't competent.

It's against the forum rules, and common sense, to advise on this.
