Compression fittings in the plumbing world are very knowledgeable. They are a safe way to hold copper tubing without heat and can be assembled by DIYers.
Different types, such as valves, utilities and connectors, must contain compression fittings. However, there is a need to make them waterproof and protective.
Compression fittings work by compressing the "olive". Olive compression between the two conical surfaces and the pipe itself. These two surfaces are the frame of the fitting (be it a connector, valve or any other type) and the nut. However, with a wrench and a few handles, the nut stiffened. It puts pressure on the olive and bites it on the pipe.
Compression fittings will work fine if the pipe is not contaminated and the cut is accurate. Segments are the best tool for this type of work and do a great job in the right space.
When the pipe is cut and then cleaned, collect the compression joint by sliding it over the nut. Olives will be on both tips. Grip the compression body with a pair of handles and tighten the nut with a wrench. That being said in the trade don't over tighten compression fittings. However, leave more yarn in case of leaks than changing olives or accessories. Usually, the nut needs to be turned one turn after being held by hand.
