List of featured suppliers of COMPRESSION FITTINGS on Building Products Index
Compression fittings are types of fittings that are designed to connect two pipes or tubes together in a tight, secure manner. They are typically made of brass, copper, or stainless steel and consist of a threaded nut that is tightened onto a sleeve or ferrule, compressing it onto the pipe or tube and creating a seal. Compression fittings are commonly used in plumbing and gas lines and are preferred over soldered joints or flared fittings in certain situations.
