Compression Joints - how tight and which type of olive?

[Dan Robinson]

I'm still trying to work out how a seal is better... if it is sealed it is sealed surely?

How many joints have you made?

Percentages are useless without a base figure.

I've just read that.

It says "compression fitting threads"

I haven't advocated putting PTFE on the threads of a compression fittting, do you know anyone who has?

DIYers, put then pipe and olive into the fitting and wrap the olive and fitting threads.
