Compression Fittings

Compression Fittings

Compression tube fittings are widely used in hydraulic systems to create leak-proof connections between tubes or pipes. They are designed to provide a secure, reliable, and easy-to-install connection without the need for soldering, welding, or special tools. These fittings are commonly used in applications where high pressure and vibration resistance are required.

Key Features

Components: Typically consist of three main parts: a body, a nut, and a compression ferrule (or ring). Some designs may include two ferrules for added security.

Compression Seal: When the nut is tightened, it compresses the ferrule against the tube and the fitting body, creating a tight, leak-proof seal.

Metal-to-Metal Contact: The compression of the ferrule against the tube and fitting ensures a strong, metal-to-metal contact, providing a durable and secure connection.

No Special Tools Required: Can be installed with standard wrenches, eliminating the need for specialized tools or equipment.

Quick Assembly: Provides a fast and efficient way to connect tubes, reducing installation time and labour costs.
