Compression adapters provide a transition between a compatible pipe or press-fit system and a compression connection. They can be useful when connecting new multilayer or press-fit pipework to valves, appliances or existing components that use a conventional compression interface.
The adapter must be selected around both sides of the connection: pipe diameter and press profile on one side, and compression size and compatible tube material on the other. Similar-looking components should not be assumed to be interchangeable.
Prepare the press connection in accordance with the pipe system instructions and assemble the compression side using the correct olive, insert and tightening method where specified. Avoid over-tightening and ensure the completed adapter remains properly supported.
Explore the compression adapters below alongside press-to-compression and spigot options to find the appropriate transition for the project. You may also find the related press-to-compression adapters and copper spigot adapters useful when completing the system.
