Hi guys, I hope somebody can help me as I'm struggling a bit.
We have moved our kitchen into a different room, and a door is going where the original water main is, so it needs to be rerouted. Spoke to a plumber who said use a 22mm elbow with a 3/4 olive to connect to the old black plastic which is 1/2" inside diameter, and to re-use the insert. I cut the pipe first because the fitting was seized, and when I got it apart there was no insert, just a piece of 15mm with an olive on that was flapping around doing nothing. I pulled the old olive off and it has a lip either side to help grip the plastic.
I've reconnected, and both sides of the elbow are weeping, the plastic and the 22/15 reducer on the new pipe. I had to reconnect so we had the water back on.
Can anybody tell me where I can get a 1/2" insert for the black plastic pipe in Walsall or surrounding area?
Many thanks in advance.
