You can get solder ring (identical to Yorkshire) 3/4" x 22mm connectors in other brands

Yeah as above get some organisers, don't buy cheap wait till the good ones are on offer and get a few then solder/compression/iron/odds that you wont know you need till you need them
/one for toilet and tap spares and repairs/and such
 
I went after college to do a homer but I had limited material as I didn't know what to expect. I Went to change the bath taps for a bath mixer but before I cut any pipe I noticed the brass fittings are stamped p,d,m can someone tell me if the copper pipe will be metric or imperial. So I know if I need green rings for next time I go round I'll be prepared.

Any old skool plumbers out there I just want to say I respect the patience and skill that was involved compared to nowadays.
as this bath pipe work must of been done first then the bath.

If you're talking about brass soldered fittings on existing pipe, then I would think it will be original 3/4
Do you have to change pipe work to change taps, maybe enough play in pipes to accommodate new taps
The thread length should be similar
 
Good idea I'll do that. I didn't know you can get imperial and metric yorkie couplin. Amazing the stuff you can buy nowadays.

Sorry what I meant was comp fittings with imperial olives

You can also get imp/met couplers in soldered and they are handy to have a few of.

I wouldn't bet on the threads being same length if it is old 3/4" copper with brass soldered connectors. It would be very old and most likely the threads will be longer, therefore leaving the old pipes short of the new taps.
