    What do I need to attach it to the ¾ Flexi pipe ?

    Other side - I need same 1¼ down to ½ - whats needed ?
    Same fitting as above & what

    You could put a couple of inches of 3/4" copper on that and then a 3/4" 311.
    For other side the same except a 3/4"X1/2" 311.



    There might be a more elegant way to do it depending on the stock in your local shop.

    Found a few fittings - see pic.

    Is the large fitting a 312 1¼ ? As herehttps://www.plumbingproducts.ie/female-compression-couplings-ireland/319-compression-female-iron-coupling-312-1-1-4.html
    And is that the same as I have - reducing to ¾ ?

    Thx

    Yes

    And is that the same as I have - reducing to ¾ ?

    Thx
    Photos can be deceiving, but the pump end of your 312 doesn't look as big as 1 1/4"

    It's the same picture for all the different sizes. Thanks

    It's your original pic I'm thinking of. There doesn't look to be enough of a difference between both ends for compression side to be 2 sizes smaller than threaded side.
