This Compression 15mm x 10mm One-Piece Reducer from Evolve offers a simple and effective solution for adapting 15mm compression fittings to work with 10mm pipework. It's ideal for situations where you're upgrading, repairing, or modifying a heating or plumbing system that involves a change in pipe size.
Designed to be compatible with standard 15mm compression fittings—such as radiator valves, tees, couplers, and elbows—this reducer eliminates the need for bulky adapters. Instead, it works by replacing the olive within a 15mm fitting and securely reducing the connection size to accept 10mm pipe directly.
Whether you're a professional installer or a confident DIYer, this one-piece reducer is a practical, space-saving option that makes transitions between pipe sizes cleaner and easier. It's perfect for central heating systems where 10mm pipework is commonly used to feed individual radiators from a 15mm main supply line.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this one-piece reducer work?
The reducer replaces the olive inside a standard 15mm compression fitting, allowing it to grip and seal onto a 10mm pipe. This provides a smooth, secure connection without needing additional adapters.
Is this suitable for both hot and cold water systems?
Yes, the reducer is suitable for both hot and cold water systems, including central heating setups. It's made from materials that can handle typical domestic system pressures and temperatures.
Can I install this without any special tools?
Absolutely. If you already have basic tools for working with compression fittings (such as adjustable spanners), you won’t need anything extra. Just ensure the pipe is clean and cut squarely for the best seal.
