Description
Overview:
Brass Barrel Olives are small, ring-shaped sleeves that form the seal in a compression joint. Made from solid brass for strength and corrosion resistance, they compress onto the pipe as the nut is tightened, creating a reliable, leak-tight connection without heat or solder. This 3/16 inch size (approximately 4.76 mm) suits small-bore pipework in domestic, commercial, and light industrial plumbing where compact fittings are essential. They are suitable for use with matching 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) compression bodies and nuts, typically on soft copper or brass tube of the same outside diameter; plastic tube may require a suitable pipe insert. Finished in natural brass, these olives are robust, easy to fit, and ideal for routine maintenance and new installations alike. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 615 133.
Key Features:
- Sized for 3/16 inch pipe (approximately 4.76 mm) for accurate, secure mating with matching fittings
- Solid brass construction offers durability and excellent corrosion resistance in wet environments
- Forms a dependable mechanical seal when compressed by a standard compression nut
- No soldering, flux, or heat required - simple hand-tool installation and removal
- Consistent dimensions help ensure repeatable sealing performance and minimal rework
- Works with common compression coupling bodies, tees, elbows, valves, and adaptors of the same size
- Suitable for soft copper and brass tube of matching outside diameter; use an insert where required with plastic tube
- Compact barrel profile helps where space is limited around manifolds, cabinets, and enclosures
- Ideal for maintenance tasks, reducing downtime on small-bore service lines
- Natural brass finish for easy identification and compatibility with standard plumbing components
Typical Applications:
Making and repairing small-bore connections in plumbing and general fluid transfer lines, such as links to valves, gauges, manifolds, dispensers, and small appliances. Useful in service cabinets, plant rooms, and instrumentation where a neat, solder-free joint is preferred. Suitable for water and non-corrosive liquids within the limits of the host fitting and pipe material.
