Description
Overview:
Imperial Brass Barrel Olives are small, precision‐machined rings that compress around a pipe to form a reliable, leak‐tight joint in compression fittings. Made from durable brass for corrosion resistance and long service life, they are used with standard compression nuts and bodies on copper or compatible plastic pipe with inserts. This assorted pack contains 150 olives covering 5/32" to 5/16" (approximately 4-8 mm): 5/32" (≈4.0 mm), 3/16" (≈4.8-5.0 mm), 1/4" (≈6.35 mm), and 5/16" (≈7.94 mm). They are well suited to domestic and light commercial plumbing, heating, and maintenance work, especially where imperial pipework is present on older installations or specific equipment. No heat or soldering is required; joints are tightened with basic hand tools for quick, clean assembly.
Key Features:
- Assorted imperial sizes: 5/32" (≈4.0 mm), 3/16" (≈4.8-5.0 mm), 1/4" (≈6.35 mm), 5/16" (≈7.94 mm)
- Pack of 150 for broad coverage and convenient spares on site or in the workshop
- Solid brass construction for strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance
- Precision‐engineered profiles help achieve consistent, leak‐tight compression joints
- Suitable for copper tube and compatible plastic pipe when used with the correct inserts
- Works with standard compression fittings; no soldering, flux, or heat required
- Ideal for servicing or extending older systems that use imperial pipe sizes
- Clean, reusable fittings; best practice is to use a new olive when refitting a joint
- Supports water, heating, and general service lines where brass and pipe materials are compatible
- Simple installation using common hand tools, aiding quick repair and maintenance work
Typical Applications:
Making or repairing compression joints on sinks, taps, radiators, cylinders, valves, manifolds, and general service pipework. Useful for domestic plumbing, light commercial maintenance, heating circuits, and low‐pressure fluids or air where suitable. Particularly handy for adapting and maintaining legacy imperial‐size installations.
