Compression Fittings

How do compression pneumatic fittings work?

The last type, the compression fitting provides for the possibility of being used with different types of tubes, either with metal (copper, aluminum or other) where the tube is inserted into a special cone (single or double) and then into the body. The same fitting can also be used with plastic tubing with a special insert that stiffens the final part of the tube itself. The torque force of the nut will deform the cone with the tube, obtaining the tightness. Generally, the performance in terms of temperature, pressure, etc. depends on the tube used as there are no gaskets inside.
