COMPRESSION SPARE RING 15mm

Product Description

In plumbing, the spare ring (commonly referred to as a compression olive or compression ring) is an essential component used in 15mm compression fittings.

🔧 What It Does:

The spare ring (olive) is a small metal or brass ring that sits between the compression nut and the pipe. When the compression nut is tightened, the olive compresses around the pipe, creating a watertight seal. This mechanism doesn’t require heat or soldering, making it a quick and effective way to secure pipe connections.

🛠️ When You’d Use One:

  • Replacing a damaged or worn olive: Over time, the olive can wear out, compromising the seal. Replacing it ensures a tight connection and prevents leaks.

  • Installing or re-installing a compression fitting: When assembling or reassembling fittings, a fresh olive guarantees a reliable, leak-free connection.

  • Ensuring a leak-free connection: Whether installing a new fitting or maintaining an existing one, the olive ensures that the joint remains sealed.

Common Uses:

This component is typically used with 15mm diameter pipes, a common size in domestic water systems. It's a crucial part of maintaining efficient and leak-free plumbing systems.
