Typically the procedure for tightening a compression fitting is specified using the rotation of the nut as the key metric rather than torque.
How to fit compression fittings. How to fit a compression fitting joining two pieces of pipe together showing how tight to do it up and what jointing paste to use. Saved you money on a plum. The only thing left to do is to tighten the retainer nut.
Larsen Supply Company presents a 2-minute plumbing video on how to install a compression fitting on copper or plastic tubing. Fix-it man Mark Kimball shows h. In this video I show how to use a brass compression fitting to join two copper pipes together.
This is a quick tutorial to show how simple it really is to do. Besides the obvious pipes the compress fitting will comprise of the compression nut the compression ring and the compression seat the actual fitting. For the compression plumbing fittings install you will simply add both the nut and the compression ring onto the pipe place the compression nut first.
When the pipe has been cut and cleaned assemble the compression fitting by sliding on the nut and olive at both ends. Hold the compression fitting body tightly with a pair of grips and tighten the nut with a spanner. Measure the Outside Diameter OD of your pipe or pipe fitting.
Wrap a string around the pipe. Mark the point where the string touches together. Use a ruler or measuring tape to find the length between the tip of the string and the mark you made circumference.
How to use a compression waste fitting. In this tutorial I give quick simple instructions on how to use a waste compression fitting to connect your sink sho. It consists of three parts.
The compression nut the compression ring and the compression seat. As you can see in the diagram at the left the nut is slid onto the pipe followed by the compression ring. The pipe is slid into the fitting in this case a toilet shutoff valve and the nut is tightened down.
There are however several common elements to the installation procedure for nearly all compression fittings.
