We have replaced the mains with 25mm plastic pipe. The water authority told us we can connect it ourselves. That is strange but we have waited some 3 months so far so we want to get on with it. I have no idea how to connect the plastic pipe to the existing- iron/lead mains. I would only connect it where the old pipe comes into our garden- don't fancy digging up the public road. Do we just use a plastic compression joint and connect to the old service? I guess the old pipe is 1"" so nearly the same as 25mm?? Thanks Rob
