You will typically need two wrenches to tighten the compression nut correctly. A pipe cutter and deburring tool may also be necessary for preparing the pipe.

This product is sold as a pack of 10 connectors.

The olive (or compression ring) is a crucial component that deforms and creates a seal against the pipe and fitting when the compression nut is tightened.

It is not recommended to reuse an olive once it has been compressed, as its sealing integrity may be compromised. Always use a new olive for each connection.

Check that the compression nut is sufficiently tightened and that the olive is correctly seated. Ensure the pipe is not damaged and the fitting is correctly aligned. If the leak persists, the olive or fitting may be damaged and require replacement.

Ensure there are no cross-threads. Verify that the pipe is inserted fully into the fitting and the olive is positioned correctly. Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant (e.g., silicone grease for water) to the threads if necessary, but avoid over-lubrication.

Confirm that the pipe is round and free of deformation. The pipe should be inserted to the correct depth. Ensure the fitting and pipe meet the required standards and are clean.
