Before you can actually fit a compression fitting you will most probably need to cut a section of pipe to the correct length for your needs. There are really only a couple of ways that this can be done, considering the size of the pipes (e.g. 32mm an upwards): If a connection breaks down and fails, they are easy to remove and refit with a new one whereas with solvent welded fittings you have to start cutting pipes which can get complicated As mentioned, the advantages with the shear-type cutters is that they leave no burrs so the pipe is ready to fit straight away. Assembling a Plastic Waste Compression Unit A compression fitting is used to join two tubes or pipes or a pipe to a fixture or valve without soldering. They are preferred when installing cold or hot water pipes or repairing gas or central heating systems. Compression waste conversion bend. This bend allows you to change direction and convert from 40mm pipework to 32mm pipework and vice-versaNormally, these situations are encountered during DIY and home improvement works, especially when converting older properties that may still be using imperial sized plumbing pipes and fittings and any new work will be done using modern metric.

At this point, position the pipe so that the top cutting jaw is directly over the mark on the pipe, or just to the side if you have marked the cut point exactly on the line. Assembly of the unit is pretty straight forward. If you have several sections of pipe to put together it’s best to get it together on a bench or open space if you can, then insert it into it’s final resting place in one piece and slot together the final sections. Assembly is as follows: Squeeze the handles again and let the cutting jaw bite into the pipe. Make sure before you do this that the cut is in the correct point. Whilst cutting, keep your eye on your line and ensure the saw stays straight and true. Keep going until you are all the way through.Compression fittings are made mostly to use with 32mm or 40mm pipe work or to provide a conversion between two different sizes e.g. joining a 32mm pipe to a 40mm pipe.
