Yorkshire adaptors - 22mm x 15mm 

A 22mm x 15mm Yorkshire adaptor is a type of plumbing fitting designed to connect two pipes of different diameters, specifically transitioning between a 22mm diameter pipe and a 15mm diameter pipe. This adaptor is particularly useful in systems where pipes of varying sizes need to be joined, and it is commonly used in both domestic and commercial plumbing systems.

Key Features:

1. Material:

   • Brass or Copper: Typically made from brass, which is durable, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for use with copper pipes. Brass is preferred due to its strength and ability to create a reliable seal.

2. Design:

   • The adaptor has two ends with different diameters: one end is designed to fit onto a 22mm pipe, and the other end fits a 15mm pipe. The fitting allows for a secure connection between these two different pipe sizes.
   • Compression Fittings: Most Yorkshire adaptors are compression fittings. They use a compression ring (or olive) and nut to create a leak-proof seal between the fitting and the pipe.

3. Function:

   • Size Transition: Enables the connection of pipes with different diameters, allowing for flexibility in plumbing system design and installation.
