Brass Compression Fittings

Brass Compression Fittings are durable plumbing components used to join, extend, or connect copper and plastic pipes without the need for soldering, providing a reliable, leak-proof seal.

About Brass Compression Fittings

Brass compression fittings are widely used in plumbing and heating systems to connect pipes quickly and securely. They consist of a brass body, a compression ring (olive), and a compression nut. When tightened, the olive is compressed onto the pipe, creating a watertight seal. These fittings are ideal for domestic, commercial, and industrial applications, and they eliminate the need for heat or soldering during installation.

Compression fittings are suitable for potable water, central heating, and gas systems, and are available in various sizes and configurations including elbows, tees, couplings, and adapters.

Installation & Technical Info

To install, slide the compression nut and olive onto the pipe, insert the pipe into the fitting, and tighten the nut using a suitable spanner. Do not over-tighten, as this may damage the pipe or olive. Check the joint for leaks after installation.

For maintenance, compression fittings can be easily disconnected and reassembled, making them ideal for repair and retrofit applications.
