Hi all. I have a lead (Pb) water supply to an outside toilet in the back yard. I am going to remove the toilet and then to put a tap on the old lead supply pipe. My question is, can I use a compression adapter fitting to convert to copper? Also, I've seen B.E.S. have lead to copper connectors but they specify 'lead poundage' e=2Eg. Lead to Copper Part No. Description Unit Price Qty
10270 3/8" x 5 lb lead to 15 mm compression =A32.0510271 1/2" x 6 lb lead to 15 mm compression =A32.76
10272 1/2" x 7 lb lead to 15 mm compression =A32.6010273 3/4" x 9 lb lead to 22 mm compression =A34.73 The outer diameter of my lead pipe is about 3/4" but how can I tell which poundage my lead pipework is?
My house is a mid terrace built around 1910.
Thanks for your advice.
