Compression fittings are used in electrical conduits and plumbing systems for joining two thin-walled pipes or tubes together. For instance, when two pipes of dissimilar materials are to be joined (commonly copper and PVC), the fittings are made of compatible materials appropriate for the connection. The compression fittings that are used for attaching tubes (pipes) have ferrules in them. These fittings are composed of an inner compression ferrule or ring and outer compression nut. The inner compression ring is made of copper or brass. The ferrules vary in material and shape but are mostly in the shape of a ring with beveled edges. The ferrule needs to be oriented correctly as the longest sloping face of the ferrule faces away from the nut. Tube fitting manufacturers also prefer utilization of compression fittings over other types of fittings as they offer ease of assembly, require no skilled methodology, are resistant to water and heat, and can be dissembled with ease.
