compression fitting
Squeeze-seal pipe joint
A compression fitting is a type of pipe connector that creates a watertight seal by compressing a ring or ferrule against tubing when a nut is tightened.
Unlike soldered or threaded connections, compression fittings require no special tools or heat: The plumber used a compression fitting to connect the supply line to the faucet.
Common in plumbing for water lines, gas connections, and HVAC systems.
