Hi Everyone

I remember sometime ago if you needed to fit an metric copper pipe to an imperial there was an olive you could get with a green dot on it.
(1/2" to 15mm)
Any ideas where you can get them.

Cheers

Hi, I've been a plumber/heating engineer for over 30 years, I've never seen an olive with a green dot! If the imperial pipe will go into the 15mm fitting (and it will) then it will also go thru the olive, it may be just slightly tight but it will go over. If you intend to fit 15mm pipe into a 1/2 inch compression fitting then I'd simply rob one of those nice brass olives out of a 15mm fitting, they are a little 'fatter' than most, esp the copper ones. Hope that helps!
