Right, leaking CH return pipe today,in the bathroom floor combi boiler in bathroom cupboard, lifted boards, looked like 28mm copper, cut it out with recip saw as it was too tight for a slice, pipe was slightly too big for end feed coupler to go on.
took it to local pipecentre, bloke in there said it looked like 1 1/8" refrigeration pipe but put a fitting on and it wobbled, had a whirl at soldering up and building the lead solder up but no joy it absolutely piddled out.
Had to call it a day as it was after 6 and all merchants shut so had to leave customer with no boiler for the night and going back tomorrow first thing. any ideas what size it is or any suggestion as to what sorcery will get me onto normal size water pipe, got to be end feed as well as space in the notch is tight.
If needs be I'll take it all for the tat bag and repipe the return back to the boiler in 22 but i still need to get onto it properly
