klämkoppling

Klämkoppling, often translated as compression fitting or compression coupling, is a type of pipe fitting used to join two pipes together without the need for welding or threading. The connection is created by a ferrule or ring that is compressed onto the pipe ends. When the nut of the fitting is tightened, it forces the ferrule to deform and create a seal against both the pipe and the body of the fitting.

These fittings are commonly used in plumbing, gas lines, and hydraulic systems. They are valued for their ease of installation and the reliable, leak-proof connections they provide. Klämkopplingar are typically made from materials such as brass, copper, stainless steel, or plastic, depending on the application and the type of fluid being conveyed. The design usually involves a body, a nut, and a ferrule.

The primary advantage of using klämkopplingar is that they do not require specialized tools or extensive training to install. This makes them a popular choice for DIY projects and for situations where pipework needs to be assembled and disassembled. They are also suitable for use with a variety of pipe materials, including copper, PEX, and some plastics. However, it's important to ensure the correct size and type of klämkoppling is used for the specific pipe and application to guarantee a secure and watertight seal.
