Securplumb Compression Olives 10mm – Pack of 10

Product Overview:

The Securplumb Compression Olives 10mm – Pack of 10 is a reliable and essential component used in compression plumbing fittings to ensure a secure, watertight seal between pipes and connectors. Designed specifically for use with 10mm copper or plastic pipe, these high-quality olives are ideal for installations and maintenance in both domestic and commercial water systems.

Compression olives are a vital part of compression joints, where they are compressed between the nut and the body of the fitting to create a tight mechanical seal—no soldering or adhesives required. Securplumb’s olives offer consistent performance and a secure fit in a wide range of plumbing applications.

Installation Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pipe: Cut the 10mm pipe square and remove any burrs.

2. Slide the Nut and Olive Onto the Pipe: Position the olive approximately 1cm from the pipe end.

3. Insert the Pipe Into the Fitting: Ensure the pipe is fully seated.

4. Tighten the Nut: Use a spanner to compress the olive between the nut and the fitting body to create a watertight seal.

5. Test the Connection: After installation, pressurize the system and check for leaks at the joint.

Care and Maintenance:

• Single-Use Recommendation: Once compressed, olives are typically not reusable. For best results, always use a new olive when reconnecting fittings.

• Visual Inspection: During system maintenance, check fittings for signs of wear, corrosion, or leakage.

• Proper Storage: Store in a dry environment to prevent tarnishing or contamination before use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q1: Can these olives be used with plastic pipe?
Yes, but you must use appropriate pipe inserts to ensure a proper internal seal.

Q2: Are these suitable for central heating systems?
Yes, they are compatible with both hot and cold water systems, including heating circuits.

Q3: Can olives be reused?
It is not recommended. Once compressed, olives deform to fit the pipe and fitting—reusing may result in leaks.
