I am trying to source a supply of 14mm to 15mm copper end feed reducers either in the UK or France. An alternative would be 16mm to 15mm reducers. Does anyone know please where I can buy the fittings

 

Thanks

And from a tight ar5e!

HOW MUCH FOR ONE MANCHON!!!!!

I have given up with expensive French pipe and fittings and I got totally fed up having to anneal it each time I want to bend it so I found a job lot of 15mm at 50p per metre.

What I do to join it is to use a French pipe expanding drift (outil à emboiture) and gently expand the 15mm tube to the 14/16 section of the tool you can then either solder a small section of 12/14mm tubeinside to make the joint, this will be a very tight capillary soldered joint and the restriction is less than would be a compression fitting.

Or you can slip a section of 16/18 tube over the outside and solder the joint, this takes a little more care as you have a 12 thou" capillary joint but is relatively easy to do and has stood up to all my pressure testing.

If you are a belt and braces person than you could do both.

I still cant believe the price of that manchon [:'(]
