22mm reducer fittings

[Ben565]

I need to go from 22mm solder ring elbow, to a 15mm push fit coupler

Also

From a 15mm pipe to a 22mm push fit coupler

I thought I needed a 22mm reducer, but apparently what I actually need is a 22mm reducer

If somebody could tell me what part I need that would be helpful, it's a bit confusing when a 22mm -15mm reducer isn't the same as a 22mm - 15mm reducer. And that's all they seem to call them on the web although they are different.

you need one of these for the first scenario (with a bit of 15mm copper in between the reducer to the push fit coupler)

and then one of these for the second

Thanks for the reply, I was just looking at the FLowmasta one, so yes the 22mm end will fit into my 22mm solder ring elbow. and then a bit of copper into the 15mm end for the push fit to clamp onto. 15mm end isn't a solder ring though so some actual soldering required yes?

Second scenario, I'm not quite sure I follow. I have a 15mm pipe coming out of the shower pump, I have a 22mm push fit fllexible hose to go onto it. So the JG speedfit part, the push fit end is 15mm? and then my 22mm push fit goes on the other end of it yes?

Presumably this one would also work for scenario one. I might be being a bit thick here, but the smaller end with solder ring fits over 15mm pipe, and the larger end is actual 22mm and fits into my 22mm solder ring elbow? or have I got this ar5e about face?

correct

the 'male' end 22mm diameter the 'female' end will accept 15mm pipe

That's great thanks for the help

Err, just in case you're thinking that solder ring doesn't need "soldering"... It does!
Well, by that, I mean it requires "heating/sweating" with a blow torch... The end feed needs same with "solder" applied separately, from a reel!

Semantics eh

 

[Ben565]

Thanks for the heads up. I guessed solder ring already has solder in it, and just needs heating up with a blowtorch.

I can do soldering with a separate reel, seems a lot easier to use a fitting with a solder ring tho and just heat it up.

Don't forget the flux.

Don't forget the flux.

Yep. I Shoulda mentioned that...
For flux sake!
