“Bought supposedly oversize 22mm Brass Olives to use on 3/4" copper pipe with modern 22mm fitting (New Gate Valve) But found the ID of the oversize olives supplied virtually identical to the normal 22mm copper olives supplied in the fitting. Supposedly oversize olive had OD of 0.5 greater than copper/original ones.
Being brass they need a lot more force to compress. However they cannot form a seal to the pipes the ID being at least 1mm too great.
Smaller ID is needed to fit to a 3/4" pipe. but with same OD as 22mm olive. V disappointedm, now have no hot water. Now need other solution. I expected to receive olives with 19.5mm ID and OD for 22mm”
HI Richard,
We sell a few hundred 3/4 olives that go into a 22mm compression fitting. These are for imperial copper pipe but will not fit 3/4" 20th as you need a different fitting for this type. if you need any advice, please contact me and I can sort this out for you.
Regards
Dave
