Hi There, My first post and looking for some advice please.
I am re jigging my bathroom and have taken the hot and cold supply back to the original pipe work with the intention of building the new pipe work from this point. Both the hot and cold supply come up to the bathroom from the kitchen below and appear in the bathroom floor from a corner of the room. Although they both appear to be 22mm pipes they are matt silver in colour so I am unsure if they are copper, stainless steel or chrome plated copper and wether I can build onto them with regular compression fittings?
I doubt that they are chrome plated copper pipes as they appear to be reasonably old ( house is 80yrs old ex council house) If indeed they are stainless steel then I would think I would have to use green olives for the first compression conection , thereafter normal modern fittings.
Any advice appreciated
Thanks
