I went to a job the other day to change a bath mixer tap.
It's fed with 22mm copper with what I'm sure were 22mm x 3/4" female iron couplers. Attached to the irons were 3/4" to 1" offset connectors which the tap screws onto.
The existing pipe distance is 180mm. The new tap is 150mm.
The tap I was going to replace it with has a similar threaded offset connector but is 1/2" x 3/4", the tap connecting to the 3/4" side of it.
I can't seem to find a 22mm x 1/2" iron coupler, so can I get different threaded offset tap connectors????? I'd need a 3/4" x 3/4". I'm a little confused... Would I need to reduce the 22mm copper to 15mm in order to fit a 15mm x 1/2" iron?
The pictures might make it clearer :/
