What does a copper olive do?
Copper olives form a heat-free water-tight seal in a compression fitting. They sit between the nut and the body of the compression fitting and compress against the pipe when the fitting is tightened.
Are brass or copper olives best?
Copper olives and brass olives provide the same function in a compression fitting. Choosing between them is often down to preference rather than anything else. If in any doubt, always contact the manufacturer to check if an olive is compatible with their fitting.
