Is there a 15mm to 10mm pushfit hose

[davphi338]

Hi,

I have a slight leak on my central heating pipework. whilst I was lifting some flooring a solder joint must have been dislodged and now there is a drip. The joint is where my 15mm pipework joins some 10mm pipework.

Is there such a thing as a flexi pushfit hose with a 15mm connector on one end and a 10mm connector on the other. I've had a look on screwfix but can't see anything suitable.

cheers

15mm Hep 2o straight connector with 10mm reducer.

I actually want a hose, not just a connector.

Thanks anyway.

Use a 15mm plastic coupling, or T, put a bit of 15mm in it, then a 15-10mm reducer on the 10mm, then join together with a 15mm pushfit flexi tap connector (without isolating valve).

Not the best way to do it but should work.

It would be unwise to use a flexible hose on a heating circuit for anything other than a brief and temporary period.

Why don't you want to mend using a 'normal' method?

For example, there's nothing wrong with a short section (make it long enough to be able to flex it into place) of 15mm Hep2o, with a coupling on each end and a socket reducer into one of those couplings so that you can join onto the 10mm pipe.

Here's what they look like:
