Maybe a stoopid question but I get the impression that wc,s have a half inch connection. Why is that when all pipework going into it is normally 15mm. ? Why don't the manufacturers make a wc with 15mm connection? Perhaps some do.
Ok, thanks I get that but things have moved on , why cant any new wc,s be designed with a 15mm connection?
Ok R &C, I accept it. No I,m not a remainer. I assume basin and bath taps are 1/2 & 3/4 inch?
When did copper change from 1/2 inch to
15mm, early 70's?
Why does it need to be in MMs?
Be thankful that the EU hasn't screwed around with our standard British pipe/fitting sizes (BSP). Or are you some kind of remainer??
Even the Yanks use our BTUs (British Thermal Units) for heat output on boilers, heating systems, etc.
Copper did change in early 70s, NigeF is your man for the exact year, month and day. Unless he was on strike that day.
I think he was retired by then.
