good morning all.
Just a curiosity! I am using 10 mm pipe copper pipe to connect to a radiator valve.
I have some ordered some 10 mm insert brass insert, but they seems very loose
when inserted in the pipe, i measured up with a vernier and their external diameter is 7.75 mm, the pipe used is 10 mm with 0.7 wall thickness but the internal diameter measured up with the vernier is 8.3 mm that give me an internal tolerance between pipe and insert of 0.55 mm.
Will it be correct? Or will the compression fitting crash the copper pipe?
Please help
Thank you
