Description
Overview:
Brass Barrel Olives 5.0 mm (part no. 790 1700) are small precision rings used in metric compression fittings to create a tight, leak‐resistant seal on 5 mm outside‐diameter pipe. Made from solid brass for strength and corrosion resistance, they deform evenly under compression to grip the pipe and seal against the fitting body. This makes them suitable for small‐bore fluid and air lines found across construction and garden machinery, including pumps, generators, compact plant, pressure washers, and lawn and grounds equipment. Their compact barrel profile fits neatly in confined assemblies such as valves, carburettors, regulators, and instrument lines. Supplied individually for convenient maintenance and repairs, they are a straightforward choice when replacing olives during service work to restore a reliable seal.
Key Features:
- Precision fit for 5 mm OD pipe to support consistent compression sealing
- Durable brass construction resists corrosion and galling in wet or oily environments
- Even deformation provides a dependable, leak‐resistant joint under vibration
- Compact barrel shape suits tight spaces and close‐coupled fittings
- Compatible with standard metric compression nuts and bodies for 5 mm lines
- Smooth finish helps reduce scoring on correctly prepared pipe ends
- Suitable for fuel, coolant, oil, water, and air service within the fitting's rated limits
- Ideal for maintenance tasks; replace the olive whenever a joint is remade
- Works with common tubing materials such as copper and brass where appropriate
- Supplied singly (one olive) for flexible stocking and minimal waste
Typical Applications:
Sealing 5 mm compression joints on small engines and plant, including fuel supply lines on generators and mixers, coolant or washdown water connections on pumps and pressure washers, and pneumatic or instrument lines on compact equipment. Also useful for precise low‐flow plumbing in workshops and service vans where reliable, vibration‐resistant connections are required.
