Product Description
The compression fittings (brass PEX fitting) are among the most popular fittings for PEX pipe or PEX-AL-PEX pipes. This tubing usually comes with two rubber O-rings positioned over the barbs. Each one comes with an insert that goes inside the tubing, a compression ring that is split diagonally, and a compression nut.
This is a form of PEX fitting that does not require special compression tools. All you have to do is use a wrench or pliers and tighten the nut over the compression ring. As the ring is tightened, the diagonal cut closes, forming a compressed ring.
