Help please Alkathene 21 to copper15 mm reducer leaking hissing

[Fireblade9]

Hope pic worked this is leaking was just wondering if they need replacing after so long leaking at top over the white insert

Any help appreciated

Looks like a bodge up white part shouldn't be visible, replace whole fitting using the correct adaptor to copper pipe.

needs replacing also needs a copper transition sleeve/piece in the top and not a normal 20mm insert

On the black gunked up part to says 21-15 Universal
Can't see much else down hole don't think it's 25mm copper pipe looks flexi

 

[ShaunCorbs]

20mm alk then you have two options either buy a reducing / conversion set (like in the second link I posted) or buy a new 20-15mm alk fitting

Short bit of 15mm from the elbow to the new / conversion and an 15mm copper olive and your golden
