Compression Fittings

Compression fittings compress one component of the fitting into another component, typically tubing to produce a watertight seal between two separate lines. The components of a compression fitting are a sleeve, a nut, and the fitting body itself. All elements collaborate to form a waterproof seal. In order to make this seal, you must:

  • Insert the nut onto the tubing
  • Slide the sleeve onto the threaded side of the nut
  • Insert the tubing into the connection on the fitting body, and then pull the nut and sleeve down until the threads on the nut align with those on the fitting body
  • At that moment, the nut is screwed onto the body of the fitting
  • Utilize the wrench to secure the connection

Compression fittings are the antiquated counterpart to quick-connect fittings. While installation of these fittings may involve more effort, they nonetheless provide strong, reliable seals for all of your water treatment systems.
