ok guys.
Im redoing my bathroom at present and have although Ive done quite a bit of plumbing on my past houses (bathroom), this one has never had any work done really. (1920s house)
So I removed the basin and bath (water supply off of course) and went to cap off the pipework to enable de tiling to be done without sutff in the way.
One of the supply pipes is 22mm (hot)! but this has a reducer taking it to 15m after about 1 metre ish.
I capped it with a compression fitting.
The next pipe, was a 15mm, or so I thought
It 'just' squeezed into my Rothenberger 15mm pipe cutter, but once I tried to cap it, the olive would NOT fit on and the pipe diameter was clearly 'slightly larger' than 15mm.
I would estimate maybe 16mm or 17mm even.
So Ive had to improvise capping it off for now. but my question is, can anyone tell me what this old pipe size might be?
Im guessing its imperial but dont know what size to go for!! ?/
please advise me chaps
thanks
