Kompressionpanosten

Kompressionpanosten, often referred to as compression fittings or joints, are mechanical devices used to join pipes or tubes. They work by creating a seal through compression, typically achieved by tightening a nut or collar onto a fitting body. This compression deforms a sealing ring, such as an O-ring or a ferrule, against the pipe and the fitting, creating a leak-proof connection.

These fittings are widely used in plumbing, HVAC systems, and various industrial applications due to their ease of installation and reliability. They do not require specialized tools like welding equipment or soldering irons, making them a practical choice for both professional and DIY projects. Kompressionpanosten are available in a variety of materials, including brass, stainless steel, and plastic, to suit different fluid types and environmental conditions.

The primary advantage of kompressionpanosten is their ability to create a secure and watertight seal without the need for heat or flame, which is crucial when working with flammable materials or in confined spaces. They also allow for easy disassembly and reassembly, facilitating maintenance and modifications. However, it is important to ensure proper tightening to avoid over-compression, which can damage the pipe or fitting, or under-compression, which can lead to leaks. The type of kompressionpanosten used will depend on the pipe material, pressure rating, and the fluid being conveyed.
