    Connecting To Old 3/4" Copper Pipe That's Smaller Than Usual

    Hi, I'm trying to connect 3/4" copper to 22mm copper in an old house. However it appears that the 3/4" is actually slightly smaller (measured at 21.1mm) than it normally is. This means I've been unable to use the special 3/4 to 22mm compression fittings as the olive is just too loose...

    How to make builder's opening smaller

    I've got an inset fire which is slightly too big for the opening - the seals can't press against the front. How can I reduce the opening by a couple of cm either side? I think just mortar/fire cement won't be strong enough as the seals will be pressing against it. The mortar may crack too...

    Hi all, just looking at pipework for a new en suite sink, its slightly smaller then 1 1/4 so I assume I need an adapter of sorts? I was just about to put the waste pipe in but want to check before proceeding. I'll try and attach a pic.
