What is the Most Common Cause of Compression Fitting Leaking?
A compression joint, o ring or fitting is a device used to connect the joint of a pipe to a fixture, it comprises a compression nut, compression seat, and a compression ring made of a strong material like stainless steel to create a tighter seal between the joint of two pipes.
However, if the fitting is not well installed or begins to wear out due to improper use, one may start to experience leaking problems which may further damage the copper pipe or the entire system resulting in a shortage in the water supply.
