extending a 15mm copper pipe by around 6cm.

[Paul205]

People,

I need to lengthen a piece of 15mm pipe by cutting it and then inserting some sort of fitting. Due to problems associated with draining all water I would prefer a solderless connection. I would also prefer to avoid any push fit fitting.

Can anyone please advise if they know of a compression fitting (perhaps with an isolator) or similar device that can extend the pipework by around 6cm. Perhaps I could use a 15mm compression compression flexi?

The pipework feeds a radiator so has hot water. I was thinking of using something like this:-

or perhaps a straight inline TRV

or perhaps a 15mm compression to 15mm compression with 15mm bore flexi?

Help would be appreciated

You might be pushing it. Isolating valves are possibly too short.

Do you want your plumbing to look like this????

Or would you like to ask a serious question???

Just call a plumber he will have it done in minutes with soldered joint.

When you take into account all the messing about probably easier.
