Plumbing Tip #45: How do you join 2 pipes together using compression fittings?

Compression fittings are tough and robust. They can be connected using a pair of wrenches. These fittings do not require heating and work well in situations where you are working with moist pipes. Firstly, remove any dust or dirt from the inside and outside of the pipe ends and then slide the compression nut into the end of the pipe. Then put on the ferrule and the compression body. After this, screw the nut and ferrule unto the fitting threads and start tightening both sections. Secure the joint by using the wrenches to tighten the nut and fitting body firmly.
