Compression fittings work by the compression of an âoliveâ between two tapered surfaces and the pipe itself. The two surfaces are the body of the fitting (be it a valve, connector or any other type) and the nut. Using a spanner and a pair of grips the nut is tightened. This exerts pressure on the olive and bites it onto the pipe. Compression fittings work well if the pipe is clean and cut properly.
and many other types of mechanical equipment. Compression packings are relatively easy to install and maintain. With proper attention, a high degree of successful operation can be anticipated. Successful sealing with compression packings is a function of several important related factors: Careful selection of packing materials to meet the specific application requirements. Complete consideration of surface speeds, pressures, temperatures, and medium
