    Changing/fixing a bunch of seized imperial and metric valves

    Yes compression fittings , the easiest would be a compression coupling with a imperial olive in one end and a short length of new 22mm copper pipe , but you can get 22x 3/4 solder adapters if you have the tools and skills. Kop

    Sealed system grabbing air

    Hhmm was there a smell when vented did water come out? test the water there's many Kits available and we should really be doing it .
