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!

I need to replace the washer of my kitchen mixer tap as it is leaking. I was able to remove the spout once by unscrewing the screw on the back of the tap. However now I can't remove it again as it seems I must have used the wrong screw head and have rounded off the head. Please see attached...
