Description
Overview:
The Brass Tube Coupling 1/4" with Stepped Olives is a straight, compression-style connector for joining 1/4" (6.35 mm) outside-diameter brass tube. Manufactured from solid brass, it provides a robust, corrosion‐resistant joint suitable for plumbing runs and machinery services where a clean, leak‐tight connection is needed. The stepped olives centre and grip the tube firmly, helping achieve a reliable seal without soldering or welding. Commonly used on site equipment and workshop systems, it suits water, air, and light oil service where brass is appropriate. Compact and easy to fit with standard spanners, it is a practical choice for maintaining pipework on pumps, generators, compactors, and similar plant. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 615 228 for easy identification.
Key Features:
- Suits 1/4" (6.35 mm) OD brass tube for a precise, secure fit
- Stepped olives improve alignment, grip, and sealing at the joint
- Durable all‐brass construction resists corrosion and general wear
- Compression design requires no heat, solder, or special tools
- Compact straight coupling saves space in tight installations
- Spanner‐friendly hex nuts for controlled tightening and service
- Helps achieve leak‐tight joints when tubes are clean, round, and deburred
- Suitable for water, air, and light oils where compatible with brass
- Useful across plumbing and machinery maintenance tasks
- Marked by MPN 615 228 to aid sourcing and stock control
Typical Applications:
Joining and repairing 1/4" (6.35 mm) brass tube in building services, plant rooms, and workshop piping. Useful on site equipment for coolant, lubrication, and pneumatic lines, and for connecting gauges or instrumentation where a dependable, compact straight union is required. Suitable for general plumbing manifolds, service lines on pumps and compressors, and machinery pipe runs in construction and garden equipment, subject to medium compatibility.
