Hi all, I got two blocked rad pipes "10mm". I want to try blasting them with a foot pump. Can anyone tell me what sort of adapter I need to connect the foot pump to copper pipe.
Thanks in advance

Hello, Welshplumber and welcome to the forum. Tom's done an excellent vid on unblocking microbore. If you have a look at 9.10 on the video you can see the device he made from copper pipe and a tyre valve to attach to the ch system.
Good luck! Micro can be a real pain. I believe you can also connect a foot pump to ch by getting an ordinary rubber tyre valve from a tyre shop and the bulbous end can go under a compression nut on a compression fitting.
Dickpuller will be along any minute with references to sheep.
