This guide covers the 15mm Plumbright olive. Always match the olive size to the pipe diameter.

Generally, no. The olive provides the seal. However, pipe jointing compound can be used to aid tightening and improve sealing, but it's not essential.

It is generally recommended to replace the olive when disassembling and reassembling a compression fitting to ensure a reliable seal.

Use a wrench to tighten the nut. Tighten it firmly, but avoid over-tightening. A good indicator is when you feel resistance.

These olives are made of copper.

The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.

No, these olives are designed for use with copper pipes only.

Loosen the compression nut completely. Use a pipe cutter or similar tool to cut the pipe just after the olive. Replace with a new olive during reassembly.

Tighten the compression nut further. If the leak persists, disassemble the fitting, check the olive for damage, and replace if necessary. Ensure the pipe is properly inserted.

Make sure the pipe is correctly aligned and inserted fully into the fitting. Use a wrench of the correct size. Apply a small amount of pipe jointing compound for easier tightening (optional).

Apply some lubricant (such as olive oil) before assembling, and ensure you are using the correct olive size for the pipe diameter.
