    Changing/fixing a bunch of seized imperial and metric valves

    Yes compression fittings , the easiest would be a compression coupling with a imperial olive in one end and a short length of new 22mm copper pipe , but you can get 22x 3/4 solder adapters if you have the tools and skills. Kop

    Sealed system grabbing air

    Have you physically checked the pressure in the system ? it could just be a faulty gauge or partial blockage in the tube , I'd suggest and good hot flush then a chemical clean and mains water flush check then expansion vessel is charged to 0.7 -1 bar add a couple of litres of quality inhibitor...
