You can use a 1" to 1/2" reducer - 2nd option on this product page - http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/female-to-male-reducing-bush.html
Then you can screw in one of these - http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/john-guest-1-2-inch-push-in-fitting-to-1-2-inch-male-screw-bspt-thread.html

Total cost = £4.79+VAT
can you get this with a 15mm john guest fitting

if you wanted to do it that way there is 2 ways you can do it:-

way 1 :-

use these  parts

http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Plumbing/Compression/Brass+Hexagon+Bush+1+x+34/d20/sd2697/p42593

http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Plumbing/John+Guest+Speedfit/Straight+Tap+Connector+15mm+x+34+BSP/d20/sd3307/p59982

http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Plumbing/Compression/Brass+Hexagon+Nipple+34/d20/sd2697/p63570

or way 2 (i have done this one my tank wasnt an 1" fitting, it was just a 3/4")

use these 2 parts, first one only come in a pack of 10 from here, so have to go local plumbing centre to pick one up,
dont use B&Q they are 2-4 times the cost than you would pay at plumb centre

http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Plumbing/Compression/Brass+Hexagon+Bush+1+x+34/d20/sd2697/p42593

http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Plumbing/Compression/Compression+Elbow+Male+22mm+x+34/d20/sd2697/p88443

http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Plumbing/John+Guest+Speedfit/Reducer+22mm+x+15mm/d20/sd3307/p54466



Richard's ways would definitely work. Most WFP suppliers do not stock 15mm fittings as these are usually a plumbing merchants department.

I am curious as to why 15mm is being used here? Is it it being hard plumbed in copper or 15mm Speedfit hose? We find that most clients stick to 1/2" as the range of fittings available from WFP & RO outlets are more extensive in these imperial sizes.

I can understand that, wanting everything local.

I also only use John Guest in my van. John Guest from the tank to strainer, strainer to the 2 pumps and from the 2 pumps to the twin outlets. In reality this only uses 3 different John Guest fittings and I can easily keep one of each of these as spares in the van at very little cost.

i use 22mm push fit pipe to start with then down to 15mm to the pumps.

stronger fittings, easy to use, cheaper, pick them up from anywhere, solid pipe, pipe will never split or wear,

Put fittings on today haven't been able to test them out yet hopefully will be ok, could do with some ideas for the hose to hose reel prefer not to have it hanging from the pump outlet as in the pics.

if you are talking about the white round bit thats a tap to shut water off to the pumps

Yeah thats right, because i cant turn the water off from the main tap i have put that there so i can turn the flow off to the pumps because on the nights when it freezes i take the whole board out  that the pumps and controllers are attached too and take them inside all i have to do is release the pipe the goes into it now.
