Compression fittings seal with a ferrule and nut, and they are common on supply lines. Here is the Terre Haute guide.
How they work
Tightening the nut squeezes a brass ferrule onto the pipe for a watertight seal.
The prep
A clean, round pipe end and the right tightening are key to a leak-free joint.
The reuse
Once compressed, a ferrule usually cannot be reused on a new pipe.
The call
Get a clean seal without soldering. Call 888-217-3585 and Terre Haute Plumber Connect will match you with a Terre Haute pro.
