Lead pipes connecting to 22mm copper

[bacon_sandwich]

OK I have so far managed to avoid or replace lead pipes, but not this job.

Any recommendation for fitting to go from lead OD 25mm to 28mm - all three pipes have a different OD, lol to 22mm copper ?
many thanks

thx, have left site now so will just get a range of leadloks and try and work out which one fits what, lol, Philmacs look a bit chunky and i am rammed up against the wall. BTW, any idea when lead was stopped being installed, before i was born i think.......reason i ask is that the heating system is pretty old but for some reason there is lead pipes to the system tank , whereas all the rest of the pipework is either steel or copper, its almost as if the tank was there before the current, very old , heating system. I am changing the tank cos its old rusty and client does not want a leak.

prob was an old single pipe system

also they used to run lead for the mains services

I normaly use a 9lb lead lock, most times you need to use a coarse rasp first to get it to fit as the soft lead is often misshaped and in need of filing down. Can be tricky in a tight spot but persevere it can be done.

thx Darren, yep noticed they were already slightly oval, will take all my metal fabricating tools along for good measure. Plumbcentre have a selection of leadloks in stock so on my way to get them all.
