Used to join or connect pipes and conduit by causing a ring to compress against the connecting tube when tightening with a wrench.
A type of connection which uses an internal barb or sharp edge to compress the tube that is attached. Increasing the internal pressure of the tube forces the fitting to grip tighter on the tube. This is a fast assembly method not intended for disassembly. However, applying extra force can remove the tube if needed. The tube will be damaged but the damaged end can be cut off.
A style of fitting in which a threaded nut compresses a tapered ferrule onto tubing as the nut is tightened. Valco metal ferrules cut a ring into the tubing wall while polymer types rely on surface compression to form a seal.
A sealed pipe connection without soldering. As you tighten a nut on one fitting, it compresses a washer around the second pipe, forming a watertight closure.
A kind of tubing or pipe connection where a nut and a sleeve or ferrule is placed over a copper or plastic tube and is compressed tightly around the tube as the nut is tightened forming a positive grip and seal without soldering.
A connector used on copper and plastic pipe, composed of a threaded body, a compression nut and a compression ring. It forms a watertight seal when the body and nut are tightened, squeezing the ring around the pipe.
A pipe fitting used to join two or more sections of pipe together using an olive which is compressed between the body of the fitting and a compression nut to form a gas tight joint
A pipe connection created by tightening a nut and thereby compressing a washer or gasket to form a water tight seal.
A common fitting in which an inner o-ring is compressed by an outer nut to form a vacuum tight seal.
A pipe connection that seals without soldering. As a nut is tighten on one fitting, it compresses a washer or gasket around the second pipe, forming a watertight closure.
A faucet or other fitting which uses a compression valve.
