Standards

compression fittings and components are defined as follows:

(a) type 1 non-manipulative—a fitting for a compression joint which does not require any working of the tube other than cutting square. The joint is made tight by means of a loose compression ring which grips the outside wall of the tube when the coupling nut is tightened
(b) type 2 manipulative—a fitting in which the joint is made by flaring, croxing, capping or beading the end of the tube which is then compressed by the coupling nut against the shaped end of the corresponding section in the fitting
(c) cone—the loose ring component of a non-manipulative-type compression joint that grips the outside of the pipe
(d) nut—a fitting used to make a watertight joint, in which the end of a pipe is held by compression either on the outside of a pipe or against a manipulated end of a pipe. The compressive effect is achieved by tightening the compression nut. The joint may be olive, cone, flared or croxed type
(e) ring—that part of a non-manipulative-type compression fitting which is used to grip the outside wall of the pipe. Sometimes referred to as a ‘sleeve’, ‘cone’ or ‘olive’
(f) olive—the loose ring component of a non-manipulative-type compression joint, which is used to grip the outside of the pipe
