Fernox omega filter , what reducers to use ?

[Jonny brown]

I'm having a fernox omega filter fitted on Saturday . It's 22m but my pipework is 15m , my boiler guy told me to get compression reducers to go with the filter .

Can anyone post a link to what I need please ? I'm getting the filter from Screwfix .
Thanks Jonny

Thanks , so I guess that just goes inside the the connectors on the filter ?
Thanks

The filter should be on the main return, as close to the boiler as possible, is main return (& flow?) pipework 15mm??

I must be honest though I hate those snap reducers,

I'd use the internal 3 piece reducers that have a separate internal olive

or normal compression reducers and a little piece of 22mm to and from the filter.

Yes it's 15mm pipe work and I've got a feeling my gas guy might have have to fit the filter on the flow side of the boiler , I know it's not ideal and some might say useless . But I don't have a filter at all on it at the moment.
There isn't really any room on the return unless he adds some extra pipe.
