Due to air in the hot water shower feed, I'm going to fit a Salamander S Flange to our DHW cylinder.

outlet to the shower is a 22mm compression joint as you can see in the picture in the link above. The existing shower feed is in 15mm copper. I've been looking at what I can use to connect 15mm copper straight into the flanges 22mm fitting.



I've found a 22mm x 15mm reducing coupler:

Will this do the job?



Thanks!

That would do the job but you will need a short piece of 22mm copper between the two.

A tidier and better looking job would be to use a reducing set

from plumbing shops (not sure about the sheds) and no soldering required.
