Need to change these...


Not tackled any of these before.

What am I looking at here, is this a standard copper to iron (15mm compression one side, female 3/4" the other side) fitting with a 3/4" male ended bib tap screw in? So identical to an outside tap?

Or do the bib taps have ends already on them that join onto a standard compression fitting with an olive?

I'm thinking it's got to be the first one but there's not even a billionth of a millimeter of a 3/4" thread visible on the end of the bib tap which is why I was wondering if the second 'version' might be what I'm looking at?

Thanks
