HI - me again!!!

At the same property as my previous post there is a leaking compression joint on black plastic to copper connection on a pipe in an outside toilet.

The OD of the black pipe is approx 22mm (21.7mm - 1/2" pipe???) - Would this accept a standard 22mm compression fitting if i were to replace it.??


Thanks

I think you need a sort of adaptor but I have seen them done with compression fittings with loads of ptfe tape.
 
hmmm maybe one of those universal coupler types that philmac do
