Product Description
Metric Brass Stepped Olives
These metric brass stepped olives are designed for use with compatible brass compression fittings in fluid control systems. The olive forms part of the compression joint, helping to create a seal around the tube as the fitting is tightened.
The stepped profile must match the fitting being used. Choose the appropriate nominal size for your tube and fitting when replacing an olive or assembling a new connection.

Selecting Your Stepped Olives
Select the required nominal size and pack quantity from the available options. Check the tube size and the profile of the existing olive or fitting before ordering, as olives with different profiles are not necessarily interchangeable.
If you need the overall length, outside diameter or step dimensions for a particular size, please contact us for confirmation.
Fitting Guidance
Prepare the tube and assemble the olive in the orientation specified for the compression fitting. Tighten according to the fitting manufacturer's instructions and check the completed connection for leaks before use.
