And used with 28mm compression?
Thanks
 
Yes. They are close enough & the old imperial 1" pipe is very fractionally wider, so that will mean the 28mm olive will be a nice tight fit.
One thing I should mention is you might find the modern brass nuts on the new fitting will be very tight in the 1" pipe. Especially cheap fittings. Conex are nice slack nuts

Denso tape on waste pipe join?
When connecting a plastic metric waste pipe from a bath to a metal imperial pipe in the wall is it standard practice to use denso tape on the outside of the join? Does it stop potential leaking or movement?

Connecting To Old 3/4" Copper Pipe That's Smaller Than Usual
Hi, I'm trying to connect 3/4" copper to 22mm copper in an old house. However it appears that the 3/4" is actually slightly smaller (measured at 21.1mm) than it normally is. This means I've been unable to use the special 3/4 to 22mm compression fittings as the olive is just too loose...
