Common Questions

What is a compression tee fitting? It’s a three-way brass fitting that joins pipes with a nut and olive on each end. Tightening the nut squeezes the olive onto the pipe to make the seal, with no heat needed.

What size compression tee should I get? Measure the outside of each pipe you’re joining and pick the tee that matches all three. On an unequal tee at least one of the ends is a different size from the others.

Will this tee work on plastic pipe? Yes, it suits copper and plastic pipe of a matching outside diameter. Fit a pipe insert in the plastic pipe first.

Do I need sealant on the olives? No, a compression joint seals on the olive itself, so no sealant or special tools are needed. Just tighten it firmly without overdoing it.

Is it okay for drinking water? Yes, our compression fittings are WRAS approved.

Why choose compression over soldered fittings? No flame is needed, which makes them good for repairs and awkward spots, and they can be undone later if you need access.
