Question:

How can I join 15mm copper pipe to standard 1/2 copper pipe?

I have a heating system using heating elements that use 15mm pipes. The 15mm copper pipes were sweated into control units that were supposed to enable each heater unit to control the volume of water flow / heat generated. The control units were connected to standard 1/2 copper pipes using compression fittings. Over time, all of the plastic control knobs broke off as the pastic became brittle from the heat. The compression fittings on the contols are now leaking as well. I would like to eliminate the control entirely. If I could find something to join the two pipes directly, the whole system would be better offf.

Answer:

Go to hardware and get a reducing cuplen from 15 mm to 1/2 inno problems get the reducer and salter both sides up. check for leaks
Hi, we have 22mm under floor in bathroom from the immersion heater, then it changes to 15mm to the taps, cannot say we have had any problems. The shower is 15mm pipes from the mains, that gives a more direct pressure. Any help?
