RE: 1/2" or 15mm

["Dave McLaughlin" <dave_mclaughlin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can you measure with a vernier? =BD will be smaller at 12.7mm so quite
a
difference to 15mm.

Another idea is to get small piece of thick card and cut out a 15mm slot.
15mm pipe will be a nice snug fit and =BD=94 will be sloppy one.

Is there an easy way to tell 1/2" copper pipe from 15mm where the
pipes are
painted and connected to radiator valves?

I want to install some TRVs and don't want a repeat of the problems I had
when replacing a toilet float valve. I decided to add a service cock and
found that the compression fitting wouldn't stop weeping. I soldered a
section of 15mm in to allow the compression fitting to be water tight, but
=
I
don't want to do that on several rads.
