lead loc fitting issue

[steevo101uk]

Hi I need to join my main cold water supply which is lead pipe with 1" diameter (acutally 26mm) to a copper 22mm pipe. I have looked at the availed lead loc sizez and am confused, there apears to be a 3/4 to 22mm coper adapter, but is 3/4" the outside lead diameter or the inside diameter.

Can anyone shed any light on the lead pipe sizes and what the dimension relates to ie inside or outside.

Lead size is usually quoted as 7lb or 9lb. From description you have 7lb. The lead is very thick and the inside diameter will only be about 10 or 12mm.

what you need is one of these http://www.philmac.co.uk/products/universal-transition-couplings/ really easy to use and very forgiving

Better than lead locs because they need the pipe to be in very good condition.
