Nuts, Olives and Washers

Nuts, olives, and washers are fundamental components used within hydraulic compression fittings. The nut provides the securing force, while the olive (or ferrule) deforms to create a watertight and pressure-resistant seal between the tubing and fitting body. Washers ensure proper load distribution and prevent loosening. Together, these elements are crucial for establishing reliable, leak-free connections in hydraulic systems, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
