Standard compression fittings are the most basic style of compression fitting made. These fittings are easy to assemble requiring no soldering, flaring or deburring.

Applications include uses with copper, aluminum, brass, plastic and steel tubing. Installation should be where low to medium pressures are encountered, and modest tube vibration/movement is involved. Suitable for hazardous liquids, oils and fuels.

Generally, the working pressure is dependent upon the type of tubing used and not the fitting, consequently the table shown below should be used as a guide ONLY.

Assembly
1. Slide the nut the sleeve onto the tube ensuring threaded end of the nut is facing the sleeve.
2. If using a plastic tube, push a BF261 (or BFM261 for metric fittings) tube insert into the tube to prevent the tube collapsing.
3. Insert the tube into the fitting until the tube has bottomed onto the fitting shoulder.
Screw the nut onto the fitting and tighten hand. Using the table below, follow the number of additional wrench turns
