    Hi All,

    I’m about to start a bathroom refurbishment and over time I have purchased most of the fittings required.

    As I’ve just discovered by home has 3/4” copper pipes installed and I made the mistake of purchasing 22mm compression fitting for this job which I can’t return.

    My question is can the fitting or pipe be modified to overcome this mismatch and still make a reliable long term solution .

    Thanks,

    you can buy a 22-3/4 that will allow you change to 22 for the rest

    also use a little or similar under and around the olive, not on the threads as is commonly and erroneously done

    dont over tighten
