Hi All,
I hope you are doing well.
I have two copper pipes one 15mm and the hot water is 22mm.
My mixer tap has 2x 25mm (1 inch) female.

How to connect this up?
I cannot find any flexible connectors above 22mm. I also cannot find any reducers from 25 to 22mm.
What can I do?
 
Is this a modern tap or antique?
It would be unusual for a modern (up to 75yrs old or so) tap to be 1" female, they're normally 3/4" male.
3/4" thread measures approx 1" across the outer diameter.

Does the tap look like this where the brass connections are?

Your tap is standard don’t worry, as snowhead says 3/4” tap tails actually measure 1” across the threads! (Don’t ask)

Easiest thing would be a 3/4” to 22mm push fit flexi for the hot and a 3/4” to 15mm push fit flexi for the cold.

John Guest Speedfit versions of these are available everywhere!

Yes, I got it wrong it's 1" male.
It's 25mm outside diameter and about 19-20mm inside diameter.

Ok so the correct designation for this one is 3/4".
Thank you everyone!

How to identify dripping tap.
Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?
