I need to make a connection from a ¾ inch steel water pipe to a washing machine.
As there is a coupler at the relevant point, would it be easier to replace the coupler with a tee and attach a straight BSP male iron and run a small piece of 15mm copper pipe vertically for the wm valve? Or is it preferable to replace the coupler with a female adaptor and run 22mm copper from here then make the connection off of the copper pipe? The steel pipe currently serves the sink and a dishwasher at the end of the branch and are about 3 metres or so away from the intended position of the washing machine. In other words is it better to replace this section of steel pipe with copper?
