joidevie Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi.. Re-plumbing time.. I'm looking to sort out the bathroom & kitchen now and am a little baffled on BRICODEPOT brass compression joints. Other (more expensive) bricos sell compression joints with the mm dimensions on the packaging.. (12mm, 14mm.... etc.). Bricodepot 12x17, 15x21 or 20x27... ??Which is which? I'm basically looking for 12 & 14mm options..? Or is Bricodepot for the soldering aficionados only?Many thanks as ever.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman II Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 To buy compression fittings at Bricodepot you need two items . Firstly âTâ 90 degree bends etc as first link below. These are sold as 12 X 17 = 3/8 inches , 15 X 21 = 1 / 2 inch and 20 X 27 = 3 / 4 inch. NB the Imperial descriptions are correcthttp://www.bricodepot.fr/bordeaux/plomberie/cuivre-sanitaire/raccords-visserYou then need nuts and olives for the French sized pipes you are going to attach to these fitting.10 and 12 will attach to 12 X 1712 and 14 to 15 X 21And 16 to 20 X 27If you buy from other places you can get other combination for instance 16 to 15 X 21, and T with odd sizes coming off themhttp://www.bricodepot.fr/bordeaux/node/472186If you have not lost the will to live there is a full and frank discussion of UK versus French Plumbing as below :http://www.totalfrance.com/france/forum/viewtopic.php?t=188Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joidevie Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Phew.. I thought there must be some method in the madness.. Nothing like doing it the hard way!Like you say, life is short, and maybe I'll do the sums on getting the ready to go packs, pricier as they may.Thanks for the specific detail..
