Help with fitting please!

[Jayingold]

Hi all, i need to replace the 15mm pipe that comes from my mains inlet in the kitchen, photo attached.

I've marked in red the pipes that i want to replace.

My question is, what fitting do i get to connect the new pipe and equal tee to the stopcock, is it a normal 1/2 inch compression with a short piece of 15mm pipe?

Thanks

Yes it appears to be a 15mm compression joint, so a nut and an olive.
Don’t forget to reattach the earth bonding clamp - you could move it the horizontal bit of your new pipe if that’s easier.

Just be careful with the stopcock one, it could be and looks a bit like a flared end type. If it is then I don't know if you can still get fittings for them.

Thanks - would it just be easier to replace the stopcock, cut the pipe below it? would it be 15mm pipe feeding into the stopcock, house was built in about 1980.

Fortunately 15mm and old imperial 1/2" are generally interchangeable.

Probably 1/2" pipe, which is where Stigster was going. So it could be easier replacing the stopcock if it's the flared end type. Just make sure you fit a drain off above it, as the existing is built into the tap.
