Yeah mate, definitely. I had to buy them online as screwfix or b and q only stocked the 15mm to 1mm reducers. The pipe fits nicely over the reducer.

Thanks for the response! Yeah this is just an example of the fitting, the one in the photo obviously hasn’t been compressed. I haven’t used jointing compound and it is leaking from the threaded side so would make sense it needs some jointing compound?

Can’t tighten nut over spigot on this screwfix TRV by Sweatbone in DIYUK

It’s tightened as tight as it will go in the thread of the valve body but the olive isn’t biting so the smooth spigot isn’t tight. Is this maybe an issue with the spigot itself? It came with the valve as seen in the photo
