Plumbers Merchant question

[jacobball]

Do plumbers merchants sell end feed fittings individually? I have a small weep from a pipe under my bath, it is from a solder tee, which goes into 15mm from 22 at one end. I have never bought fittings from a merchants before.

I basically need some 22mm copper pipe (about a metre), a 22mm tee, 22mm elbow and 15-22mm straight reducer.

But I have seen in screwfix, toolstation, they only sell end feed in packs of 10 or 25 and that is very expensive when I only need 1 of each.

Thanks for any help

Yes, they do. Been And Queued and Wickes sell in smaller packs, but merchants should do them individually.

Some may sell shorter lengths of pipe, ie. by the metre, and if you don't have a reel of solder, buying Yorkshire solder ring fittings will save you buying some.

thanks for your reply.

I did remember seeing wickes do packs of 10 a while ago I think.

What is the average price for a 22mm tee, 22mm elbow and reducer? About a fiver?

I rarely buy individually, but you should get some change from a fiver for these.

At least enough for a half at your local.

B and Q usually do 2 packs.

B and Q usually do 2 packs.

yes B&Q will have a single one, as the other one has already slipped into someones pocket.
