Which Olives with 15mm Chrome Plated Copper Pipe

self builder 123 · 11 Feb 2008

Hi

I am having trouble getting the olives in my compression fittings to seal around 15mm chrome plated copper pipe.

Are olives made in different materials ? I was hoping to find some that might more easily compress around the chrome plated pipe ?

Any suggestions ?

Usually made of brass or copper. Copper should compress easier.

The chrome plating could be causing the problem.
