incoming water pipe

[clivedunn]

The incoming water pipe to my victorian house is 3/8 ID and about 3/4"od iron pipe. Can anyone give me any advice on how to connect to this. The OD prevents me from threading it either 3/8 or 1/2 BSP as it falls between the two.

Thanks in advance

thanks for that, it looks just the thing. Just got to find someone who sells them in UK.

A while since I used one but IIRC they take different inserts depending upon the type of pipe you are connecting to (copper, lead, Iron, MDPE etc).

Make sure you get the right inserts.

Edit - having checked the catalogue they have changed sinc e I used them - ignore the above comment.
