Replacement Tap Question

[ScubaCollie]

Hi All, i have a leaking tap abd cant remove the cartridge as its seized solid.

I intend to replace the tap but ive only ever worked on compression fittings and flexi tails.

How do I get these fittings apart and how to I adapt it to a compression fitting/flexi tail?

I'm not a plumber by any stretch and get confused with the diameter of fittings I need, as from memory plumbing fittings are measured in a very strange way?

However I have done quite a few plumbing jobs around our previous houses over the years and im normally fine doing it once I know what to do lol!

Would appreciate any help with the above including dimensions of parts needed?

You appear to have a mixture of copper and plastic push fit fittings. Can't see from your pics which ones feed the tap. Once you have estabished wich fitting you need to disconnect it is just a case of draining the pipework and disconnecting which fiting you need to by slidng the collar back and sliding the collet out to release from pipe. You may get a better explanation in the plumbing/heating section.

I would replace the cold from the compression tee and get rid of the Osmagold tee, as I don't believe you can split them down - and you'd need another tee as this feed the washing machine. The hot is off a grey hep2o coupling and might be reusable, if not, replace that too. If your new tap comes with flexi hoses then you'll need some adapters

As above or, if you aren't confident with that, you can cut the copper coming out of the tees and connect the flexi's straight on to that.
