Conex Compression Fittings.

[Velocette1966]

Does anyone have any ideas as to the sourcing of Conex compression fittings for a 42mm waste pipe which comes from a victorian Belfast sink. We are short of just one cap nut and are reluctant to buy a whole straight coupling. I enclose a couple of pictures if this makes things clearer. Thanks for any help you can offer.

You mean your short a olive/ring, if so you should be able to get em from a good plumbers merchant

Thanks for the speedy reply, but it's the brass ring and the seal that we need. Someone must have one somewhere, don't they?

Does it have a metal ring?
The tapered nylon olive should be no problem to source. I used to have some but not sure.

It is indeed a tapered nylon olive,,and you are right,,getting one shouldn't be a problem. Its the threaded brass part thats being tricky to find.

Then you need a brass conex nut only?
I think the conex nuts on those traps are lighter, (not as deep). Someone will have some lying about. I will check what I have.

Thanks for that.

I have found a couple of conex nuts I had in a tin of old spare nuts. Look same as you need.
They have the conex name only on them & are approx 50mm diameter x 13mm depth.
If you think they are same, then p.m. me any address & I will post you one.
