SPencer DIY

I am fitting a new shower valve, it has 1/2 inch compression female in/outlets.

I am using a 1/2 in ch to 15mm elbow to get me into my copper pipe network.

Should I use a 1/2 - 15mm adaptor with a flange or without a flange?

What is the flange for anyway?
 
With a flange and tapered thread if you can

Hole in copper pipe, solder under floor, T coupling & protection
I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
