It is critical to avoid over-tightening the nut or else the integrity of the compression fitting will be compromised by the excessive force.

Indeed, overtightening is the most common cause of leaks in compression fittings.

The integrity of the compression fitting is determined by the ferrule, which is easily prone to damage.

It is important that compression fittings aren't tightened too much or the olive will be distorted and the joint will leak.

The cable industry standard now is to use compression fittings.

Flexible pipe is joined with threaded couplings called compression fittings.

These have compression fittings and are attached with compression nuts.

Connections are normally made with compression fittings, which require no soldering.

Flexible pipe is joined more easily, by threaded compression fittings.

Their ends usually have compression fittings in place.
