COMPRESSION FITTINGS Compression Sleeves 4/2 Sleeve to 12/9 Sleeve

Description:

Compression sleeves, also known as olives or ferrules, are essential components in compression fittings, used to create a secure, leak-proof seal between tubing and compression nuts. These sleeves deform slightly when compressed to form a tight connection without the need for soldering or welding.

The size designation (e.g., 4/2, 12/9) typically refers to the outer diameter (OD) and inner diameter (ID) of the tubing the sleeve is designed for:

• 4/2 sleeve: 4 mm OD tube, 2 mm ID

• 12/9 sleeve: 12 mm OD tube, 9 mm ID

Key Features:

• Material Options:

  • Brass (standard for many general-purpose applications)

  • Stainless steel (for high pressure or corrosive environments)

  • Plastic or nylon (for low-pressure, non-metallic systems)

• High Leak Resistance:
  Forms a tight mechanical seal suitable for gas and fluid systems.

• Reusable Fittings:
  Can often be reused with new sleeves for maintenance or adjustments.

• No Welding or Soldering Required:
  Simplifies installation and avoids heat-related damage to components.

• Wide Compatibility:
  Suitable for use with copper, plastic, aluminum, and steel tubing depending on sleeve and fitting material.

• Applications Include:

  • Hydraulic and pneumatic systems

  • Instrumentation and control lines

  • Refrigeration and air conditioning

  • Water supply lines

  • Gas delivery systems
