What Are Compression Fittings?
Compression fittings are mechanical connectors that join sections of PE pipe without the need for welding or glue. Each fitting typically consists of:
A body (main housing)
A compression nut
A thrust ring or grip ring
An O-ring for sealing
The pipe is inserted into the fitting, and as the compression nut is tightened, the internal rings grip the pipe and compress the seal to form a watertight connection.

FAQ
1. What are PE compression fittings used for?
PE compression fittings are designed to securely connect polyethylene pipes in irrigation systems, water supply lines, and low-pressure fluid transport systems. They are commonly used in agriculture, landscaping, and construction.
2. Are these compression fittings compatible with all types of PE pipes?
Yes. Our compression fittings for PE pipe are compatible with PE80, PE100, and LDPE pipes. Please check the sizing chart to ensure a proper fit.
3. What sizes are available for polyethylene pipe fittings?
We offer polyethylene pipe fittings in sizes ranging from 16mm to 110mm. Custom sizes can also be made upon request.
4. How do I install PE compression fittings?
Installation is simple:
Cut the pipe cleanly and insert it into the fitting
Tighten the cap nut by hand or with a wrench
No welding or gluing is required
5. Are these fittings reusable?
Yes. PE compression fittings can be disassembled and reused without damaging the pipe or the fitting, making them ideal for temporary or changing systems.
