Hi all New to the forum Whats the best method of joining 15mm copper pipe to a steel heating pipe if found under the floor on a heating system.and what size will the steel pipe be Many thanks It's usually easier to go back to the nearest joint and use male iron X copper coupling, if it's 1/2" malleable iron and in good nick you can use a 22mm compression coupling with a 3/4" imperial olive in it. |

hello Windy welcome to the brewcabin and thanks for you inquiry, Its a rare happening to find steel/iron fittings under a floor unless its a big house, like a palace/mansion but, it has been known, You would need to know the size of the pipe and what is available, basicly iron pipes start with 1/2 inch and under a floor you would only expect to find 1/2 inch or maybe 3/4 inch BUT you would't know because the actual size of the pipe is much larger, So pictures of the pipes would be crucial , Once I can see the situation, Only then can I give my opinion on the best way to do it, So please come back with pics or more details and we can help you,  |

Thanks for replies guys
There isn't an actual real job. I saw a plumber come across one on a heating system on YouTube and he had to cut into it and couple it into 15mm copper. Was just curious as to what he used.
Thanks again

Cut a thread on MI or back to the nearest fitting as said.
OMG!! Black MI or Black Death as we called it.
Used it for years on commercial stuff, cut n thread or weld.
