Anyone know if you can press a 15mm bend onto old 1/2 inch copper?
Got a stump coming out of a lead water main that i need to connect onto

Bloody good question. Intrigued. I think I’d go compression then press fitting

Lead lock then new copper out?

Lead lock then new copper out?

There isnt enough lead showing to work on

Then as above I would go comp first.

Yes you should be fine with a geberit fitting

Would a standard compression fitting work for 1/2 copper?

Yes

Compression and go for tight enough not to leak but not so tight you couldn't pull the olive off if you had to.

Thought I would update

15mm compression elbow worked perfectly
My bum was twitching a bit as it’s a shared supply to 10 houses
