Hi,

I have just had a new bathroom suite delivered and I have no problems with the general fitting and most of the plumbing, however. Instead of using standard taps, I am using bath valves that will supply a centre fill fitting. The bath valves have stand 3/4" male fittings for both in and out, the centre fill fitting has two 1/2" male fittings for the inputs (that tap connector would fit onto). On the input side of the bath valves I think that I can use standard 22mm flexible tails, I wanted to use the same on the output side but how do I go from 3/4" down to 1/2" using flexible tails? They all seem to have a compression fitting at one end and I will also need to reduce the size at one end or the other.

Any suggestions welcome

Unsure what your trying to reduce, 3/4 to a 1/2 BSP reducer does exist, will a 22 -15mm compression help.

SF have them, http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=17149&ts=93542

3/4 female end to connnect on to the tap tail, and a 15mm compression to connect to the pipe
