Hello!
Due to the current situation, my plumbing company unfortunately canceled, so I have to handle the water installation myself in my newly purchased older house. I have chosen multilayer composite pipes with screw fittings from the company CONNECT.
Now I am uncertain about the connection to the fresh water (cold). Can someone tell me which adapter I need to connect a 16 mm (5/8 inch) multilayer pipe to the water supply?
The galvanized steel pipe visible in the second photo runs about 8 meters (26 feet) along the basement ceiling and then splits at a T-joint into smaller-diameter copper pipes. Should this section possibly also be sized with a larger diameter?
The water supply basically only serves the ground floor; there is only a toilet with a washbasin on the first floor, so a lower water pressure there would not be a big issue.
I have attached the photo. The brass (?) part says "RN22 DVGW Kiwa."
If any information is missing to solve this problem, please just ask, and I will provide whatever is needed – since I am “only” a DIYer, I wouldn’t be surprised if this thread has technical gaps.
I would be very, very grateful if someone could help me!
Best regards!

Thank you very much for your reply, I really appreciate your effort!
So this means that I connect the thicker pipe in the basement to the water supply – and as soon as I branch off into the four subgroups (basement/kitchen/bathroom/upstairs WC), the diameters for the branches are reduced to 16 mm (5/8 inch), and the thicker pipe runs through to the last branch, is that correct?
Also: which type of adapter would I need to connect to the water pipe shown in the photo?
Best regards,
Felix
