Issue replacing 22mm pipe on central heating Discussion Thread
Hi all
I was hoping to make good this corner of my central heating (22mm) (where the old magnet was) and fit a new Adey Pro 2 just above but on cutting the pipe at the lower end its really difficult to get a coupler on. I tried chamfering the pipe as much as I can but its a struggle to get the coupler on and I know with flux it will probably be worse. I'm guessing this is because its coming off a bend and it may have distorted the pipe a little? I can get it about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way on, I dont want to force it in case I cant remove it after sizing up the rest of the pipe run.
Are there any tricks I can use here?
Or should I try and cut further back (2nd photo)?
