Looking for 15mm to 3/8 reducer
Picked up from an internet store Grohe faucet, but the thing came with supply lines that have 15mm compression fittings...so I can't connect to the standard 3/8 Valves....
I am actually even more surprised that I can't now find a reducer....
I found a few stores but they are all located in UK.
I can't believe Grohe sells their faucets with metric connectors....there's got to be a extension / reducer / adapter
Thanks for your help !

Grohe markets faucets all over the world.
More than likely that faucet was not intended for sale in the states.
Did you check back with the seller ?

This is a common problem in our workplace with commercial equipment.
We have not been successful in finding an easy source of adapters and either modify the equipment to work or just send it back.
You have been sold a fixture that requires you to spend time and money above the purchase price.
I would sent it back and go to a brick and mortar store for a new one.

A Grohe dealer in your area will likely be able to help you, or you could try calling the tech support number. They might mail you the adapters.
If you want to do it your self you might try a speciality plumbing store or a hydraulic industrial supplier, a place that supports automotive or machinery shops with hydraulic tooling.

If the flexible supply tubing has copper ends attached to those adapters you could cut them off and solder on standard 1/2" male compression adapters. If the supply tubing has braided steel with plastic underneath you shouldn't do this for fear of melting the plastic.
