The brass construction resists corrosion. Use this compression coupling when making repairs to existing pipe systems. The compression connection makes installation easy on old galvanized pipe where it's too difficult to thread the pipe ends. During the installation, please restrain the pipes to stop pipe thrusts and movement for a fault seal. Do not use for hot water, steam, oxygen, petroleum or similar explosive or combustible liquids or gases.  pipe must be restrained.

Installation:

Simply installed by sliding nut over pipe, slide gasket on, then insert pipe into the coupling body and tighten the nuts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. "What do you mean when you say the pipe must be restrained?"

A. Unlike threaded fittings, compression fittings can seal properly but still slip out of position as a result of internal pressure forces on a pipe. The compression joints provide a positive seal but do not restrain pipe from thrusts and movement under pressure. Proper installation of a compression joint requires blocking and/or strapping of the pipe to prevent any movement.

Q. "When are these sorts of fittings used?"

A. Compression couplings and tees (also known as "Dresser" fittings) are designed to be used for quick connections, system modifications or repairs. Most commonly these are used for repairing sections of old galvanized pipe where it's too difficult to thread the pipe ends. Some municipalities have regulations about where and when bronze compression fittings can be used, so double check with your local inspector.
