FAQs

What is the purpose of the olive?

The olive is a small ring that, when compressed by the compression nut, creates a watertight seal around the pipe.

Can I use this fitting with copper pipes?

No, this fitting is specifically designed for use with ABS waste pipes and chrome-plated brass compression fittings.

What tools do I need for installation?

You'll need a pipe cutter, possibly some lubricant, and a wrench or adjustable spanner to tighten the compression nut.

Where can I use this fitting?

It is suitable for various plumbing and waste applications, such as connecting sink waste pipes to the main drain line.

What does the BS EN 1329-1:2000 standard mean?

This is a European standard specifying the requirements for ABS pipes and fittings used in drainage systems.

How do I know if the compression nut is tight enough?

Tighten the nut until it feels snug, but do not overtighten. Over-tightening can damage the fitting or the pipe. Check for leaks after tightening.

Are replacement parts available?

Yes, replacement olives and rubber washers are typically available from plumbing suppliers.

Troubleshooting

The fitting is leaking after installation.

Tighten the compression nut. If the leak persists, disassemble the fitting, check the olive and washers for damage, and reassemble. Replace if necessary.

The fitting is difficult to connect.

Ensure the pipe ends are clean and free from burrs. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pipe end if necessary.
