mickthe bike Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Does anyone know where it might be possible to obtain either 14 to 15mm or 15 to 16mm adaptors so that French and UK plumbing fittings may be used together?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 The French don't need them, the English don't need them so you'll probably have to make them yourself by annealing the copper and flaring it old style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 The easiest (and expensive) solution is a UK 15mm to 1/2 inch BSP fitting onto a French 1/2 inch BSP to 16 mm fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Zoff Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Don't know if plastic is an option for you - or whether they can supply what you might need - but I have just found these people to be incredibly helpful with JG Speedfit adaptors for connecting to plastic tubing:https://www.vyair.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I have used a 15-22mm converter to a 22-16mm converter in the past.regardsSimon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderhorse Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 [quote user="BIG MAC"]1f brazing then simply insert the smaller size into the larger ie 15mm into 16mm[/quote]Doesn't 16mm pipe have an ID of 14mm? How will a 15mm OD pipe fit in that? Or have I missed something? [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 If it is coiled it is soft enough to hammer a drift in to open it up enough to take the 15mm pipe. If was purchased straight heat and hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderhorse Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Ah, the old annealing ploy! Thanks for the info.I'd like to see a plumber practicing his craft in that fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I have the French National Plumbing Museum in my Boiler Room. I was ashamed when I cut in a piece of PER so I could put a window in an outside wall. However when I count the number of curves and joints I find that impresive though it looks it has thrice the number of joints and curves that it need to do the job. Since I sourced. from Germany three sets of bowls for central heating oil pump filters I am now on good terms the real plumber who installed the central heating in our house for the previous owner. € 4 on the internet € 45 at Brossete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
