Shop compression fittings for flame-free mechanical joints in compatible plumbing pipework. The Hultons range includes couplers, elbows, tees, reducers, stop ends, threaded adaptors, valves and olives across 8mm, 10mm, 15mm, 22mm and 28mm sizes. Check each product for its exact dimensions, connection type and application before installation.
Compression fittings for plumbing repairs and installation
Compression fittings join pipework using a nut and olive rather than solder at the joint. They are useful for repairs, alterations and installations where a removable mechanical connection is required.
The Hultons range covers straight connections, 90-degree changes of direction, branches, size reductions, threaded transitions, end caps and valve connections. Product sizes and configurations vary, so match every end of the fitting to the pipework and component being connected.
Choosing the correct compression fitting
Start with the pipe diameter, then select the required fitting type: coupler, elbow, tee, reducer, adaptor, stop end, valve or olive. Check whether the connection is equal, reducing, male-threaded or female-threaded and confirm every stated size.
For a permanent pressed joint, browse our copper press fit fittings. Individual product pages should be checked for material, application, installation and approval information.
Frequently asked questions
Do compression fittings require soldering?
No. The joint is made mechanically with the fitting body, olive and compression nut. Correct pipe preparation and tightening remain essential.
What compression fitting sizes does Hultons list?
The current collection includes products in 8mm, 10mm, 15mm, 22mm and 28mm. Availability varies by fitting type.
How do I choose between an equal and reducing fitting?
An equal fitting connects ends of the same nominal size. A reducing fitting connects different sizes, so check every dimension in the product title and specification.
Can I use compression fittings instead of press fittings?
They use different jointing methods. Choose according to the installation, required fitting type and applicable manufacturer instructions rather than treating them as universally interchangeable.
