what do you mean endfeed, to fix/repair or to install with ? If you mean repair or tranistion to copper/plastic they are great, but they would work out very expensive if you were using them to join the steel together instead of screw threading the pipe and using iron fittings,  |

a transition fitting takes you from iron to copper or lead to copper, it will say 21mm x15mm, as opposed to a 25mm to 25mm which is a staight coupling, I'll find you a link, back in a mo www.philmac.co.uk/ clik on the link then click the universal/tranition tab |

yea, they do a 21mm x 15,, which will do 1/2" iron to 15mm copper, then the next which does 3/4 to 22mm and so on,
