Description
Overview:
The Brass Tube Coupling 5/16" with Stepped Olives is a straight compression union for joining two lengths of 5/16 inch (approx. 7.94 mm) brass tube securely. Machined from durable, corrosion‐resistant brass, it provides a reliable, leak‐tight connection without the need for soldering. The stepped olives help achieve a firm seal and grip where tubing tolerances vary, and are especially useful when working near the metric equivalent (8 mm) often found in UK plumbing. Suitable for domestic and commercial plumbing, as well as light maintenance tasks on construction and garden machinery fluid lines carrying water or non‐corrosive media. Easy to fit with standard spanners, it is designed for straightforward installation and long service life. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 615 229.
