Hello troops I am looking for information on fittings to use on old copper pipe. It is slightly larger than 22mm and thicker wall.
I will attach photo to show the pipe compared to a piece of 22mm and you will see the old stuff is bigger and thicker as I am sure imperial stuff I smaller than 22mm and no imperial fittings fit this old pipe.
 
Am I being silly or isn't this just old 3/4" pipe. And an old to new 22mm coupler from
the merchants will do the trick?
 
i found some of this other week.
confused me as it was bigger than 22mm but only by a tiny bit. couldnt get a nut or olive on it or an end feed or plastic.

out came the socket former
 
Oot came ma file and had to file it down till a couls get a yorkie 22mm strainght over it. Then soldered never again haha
