Problem is a lead mains pipe which is approximately 2" and which is leaking. Idea is to cut back the lead 2" pipe to a sound part and then fix a compression joint to reduce the mains lead 2" pipe to a standard copper pipe for the water supply.
This is not for a domestic property but for a clubhouse and I am asking on behalf of the 'handyman'.
I tried BES and looked at various others but can find nothing suitable for the compression joint.
The problem may be is that neither I nor the 'handyman' is aware of how the lead 'poundage' converts into size. BES appear to do ones which reduce from lead but the largest size is quoted as 3/4" [too small an OD] by 9lb lead.
Anyone got any ideas as to what the poundage denotes on these fittings and where I can find a fitting to do the job??
Many Thanks
