Philmac lead to copper

[Phil]

Got a lead pipe to connect to under a bath and want to try a Philmac transistion coupler instead of a ledlock as I don't entirly trust leadlocks.

This is a gravity hot feeding bath and basin, I've used Philmac only on MDPE x MDPE and I'm confused about which fitting Philmac connects 3/4" 9lb lead to 22mm copper.

Is this the one?

Why dont you trust leadlocks? Used them before any never had any problems

Don't get me wrong I've used them aswell and still have every size in the van but don't like the way the lead can be waggled out of the fitting and this is a customer who is paranoid about leaks.

Whatever works for you mate just like to know other opinions best in luck finding a right alternative

Call Philmac customer services for advice.

Personally Philmac fittings are all I have ever used. Our local merchants doesn't do leadlocks anyway so never used one myself.

3/4 9lb lead is 30mm o.d.
The fitting you linked (27mm) is too small, unless you shave the lead.
