Internal components from a compression fitting may require replacement due to wear after a long period of time; to ensure the compression fitting continues to function optimally, it is important to maintain these vital components. To install a replacement nut ring, simply unscrew the old nut and remove the pipe from the body of the fitting. Remove the clinching ring from the pipe, slide the new nut onto the pipe tapered edge first followed by the clinching ring. Ensure the ‘O’-ring is in place and free from any twists and continue to install the pipe onto the fitting as normal.

The nut ring functions to work in conjunction with the internal thrust ring to apply pressure to the clinching ring when the nut is sufficiently tightened. As this pressure between the nut and thrust ring is applied, the clinching ring with sharp teeth like edges lock themselves securely into the pipe wall. This combined action is expertly constructed for maximum security and reliability against pipe dislocation from the fitting.
