Couplings

Couplings – Brass Compression Fittings are essential plumbing components used to join two lengths of pipe securely without soldering, providing a reliable, leak-proof connection for water, heating, or gas systems.

About Couplings – Brass Compression Fittings

Brass compression couplings are designed to connect two pieces of copper or plastic pipe in a straight line. The fitting works by compressing an olive around the pipe when the nut is tightened, forming a secure, permanent seal. Ideal for domestic, commercial, and industrial applications, these couplings eliminate the need for soldering, making installation fast and convenient.

Compression couplings are versatile and suitable for potable water, central heating, and approved gas systems, offering durability and long-term reliability.

Installation & Technical Info

Slide the compression nut and olive onto each pipe end, insert the pipes fully into the coupling, and tighten the nuts with a suitable spanner. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage. After installation, check the joint for leaks and ensure the pipes are properly aligned.

Compression couplings can be easily removed and reinstalled for system maintenance or modifications.
