3/4 to 1/2 inch bush

[dotto]

Hello guys.
I need to connect my 15 mm flow and return pipes to my towel rail tha t takes 3/4 inch valve. I understand i can use 3/4 *1/2 inch BSP reducing bush to connect up the 15 mm towel rail valve to the towel rail and CH pipes. Since i have never used a reducing bush, do i need a male to female one so that i can screw the 15 mm towel rail valve straight into the bush ( i do not know if that is possible) or a male to male one and use a small length of 15 mm copper pipe inbetween to connect up the reducing bush to rad valve? Thank you 4 your time and sorry 4 the lengthy explanation.

Hi Slugbaby and thanks 4 the prompt reply. Does it mean that i can screw the towel rail valve with PTFE straight into the bush?

3/4" FI to 1/2" MI.

BTW, there's no such thing as a male-to-male bush.

That would be called a reducing nipple

Can you find an chrome bush though

Use the 3/4 chrome valves then stick an endex N6 22 x 15 reducer in the end.

Nope - that's a solder ring reducer.
