I'm changing bath taps for a newer set.
Having removed the plywood panel I find the piping is 22mm.
The outer diameter of the bath taps is 1 inch.
Awkward as hell to get to. Was, perhaps naively thinking it'd be a straightforward flexi job but can't see any flexis for 1 inch to 22mm.
Do I connect copper 1 inch to 22mm reducers and a length of 22mm copper to the bath taps before screwing the taps to the bath?
Any advice please.

Is it inch pipe you have to convert to 22mm.

As long as you have a new bath tap and 22mm.you should have no problem except bath taps can be one of the most awkward jobs to do... Possibly not a Sunday job...

All standard... But bath taps. Can be a pig to change..

Just be sure the pipe is 22 mm and not 3/4 imperial pipe

Thanks all for comments. Is there a flexi that connects 22mm copper to 1 inch bath taps? Seems hard to find, maybe doesn't exist.
Getting a compression connection on the existing copper to a new set of taps is going to be hard.
 
Seems to be a good supply of 22mm compression to 3/4inch threaded connnection flexi. Could I reduce the bath taps to 3/4 inch with some sort of reducer before dropping them into place? (Then the above mentioned flexi would work)
 
Just had my calipers measuring... 1 inch outside diameter, including threads, 3/4in inside diameter. Is that a 1 inch?
