Compression fittings can be used in a wide range of applications, across both the domestic and commercial sectors. The joint consists of a body with a built-in stop for receiving the tube, a compression ring the same size as the tube’s outside diameter, and a compression nut. To make the joint, the tube and fitting are assembled, and the compression nut tightened with a spanner. This quick and simple action compresses the compression ring onto the tube, creating a sound mechanical joint.
