compression joint

The easiest way is to use a reducing set 15 x 12mm with an equal elbow 15mm.

The 12mm tube fits into the elbow in the normal way and the reducing set fits in place of the olive adapting the 12mm tube to the 15mm compression. It therefore takes up no more space than the normal elbow.

bes.co.uk do sets of reducers or try a plumbing merchant.

 

I've never seen a compression elbow with different sizes at each end. You can get a reducing set to use in one end of the 15mm elbow. A 15mm to 12mm reducing set is available from BES part number 7307 £1.67 + VAT.

BES list a reducing elbow (17692) which is 15mm x 22mm and I have seen these elsewhere but not any other size.

 

That's an old Conex fitting which they do not make any more:

Try and get a reducing set to fit a 15mm elbow or reduce on the straight. There is always another way of connecting a joint.

 

yes they do Captain Leaky

Go to a proper plumbers merchant like BSS or Pipeline and ask for a Conex 401 reduced Elbow

Glad to be corrected doitall . Cheeeeeeers Mate

 

The pleasures all mine Captain Leaky,

Actually finding one may be a different story though.

 

Yup, no-one seems to sell Conex anymore let alone an obscure fitting like a reducing elbow. Still got a Conex spanner in my toolbag - makes me feel old now when I think I bought it in 1976 ):

 

Why didn't you say in your original post, that you already had a source of supply, but were looking for a better price. Rather than have everyone making the effort of looking for a solution to a non-existent problem.

Just noticed do it alls link states £11 for 10.I will be on the phone about that one.

No it doesn't. It says £11.33 each in standard pack size of 10.

That each not for 10 :O

 

Now you know why no-one buys Conex anymore ....
