Compression fitting repair and replacement

Love doing things with my hands! Great helpful video

You are so handy. I just love listening to your accent.

A fresh compression fitting should not need any plumbers mate or ptfe tape, however if the fitting has been opened for what ever reason, what you said is totally correct. But I use neither of those methods. I use loctite 55 or loctite 577. It works a treat. I strongly recommend it. Oh and get urself a olive cutter dan, saves a lot of hassle when your pipe work is in confined spaces and a junior hacksaw cannot be used. Keep the vids coming dan, very useful. 👍

Your videos are great

great video

Is there a website to order one of those compression fittings for 1/2 in to 1/2 in pipe, cant find it here in U.S.?

Really informative and thorough. Cheers!

This is helpful.

My problem is coming from a joint on a copper pipe that connects to the bathtops

Great video thanks!

Hi Dan, great informative vids! Quick question, Ive got a 15mm ballofix isolation valve to our toilet that has failed. When I change it do I need to replace the original olive too or can that just be left in place?

Thanks! Since I had the tape handy used method number two.
Worked like a charm and cheapest! :)

brilliant video

If you are putting the compression fitting/ isolation valve in a pipe, is there a method to knowing how much pipe to cut out?
Thank you for taking the time to post this, will be so useful.

R sharkbites any better?

Yes but how do you get the play on the pipe to withdraw it from the fitting you are replacing?

thank's for the saw hack!! :)

Nice one cheers
