Our lead fittings collection includes brass compression coupling for joining lead pipes to copper tubes. The fittings in this range are not suitable for gas use.

Sorry for the the amount of questions..getting desperate now and would really appreciate some advice.On the subject of pipes, I wonder what pressure the ACE works at and whether it's possible to repair the system with brake pipes which are tons cheaper. They are both just hydraulic systems when all is said and done. I really would like to have the ACE working, but not at ANY cost. Also I'm led to believe that if you do work on the pipework, you have to purge the system, which apparently is best done by the LR dealer as the vehicle needs to be hooked up to a computer for 3-4hrs while a specific sequence of valve opening and closing is effected by said 'pooter.

Whether you need DZR fittings for commercial or residential construction, our collection includes adaptors, couplers, elbows, connectors, tees and stop ends designed for use in applications that deliver water consumption. The process of soldering copper pipes together is referred to as ‘sweating’. Soldering offers certain advantages: it’s a straightforward process for experienced plumbers and engineers and it creates a lasting join (in theory). However, soldering is not always a practical option - in confined spaces for example. By contrast, fittings are easy to apply even without special training, do not need the application of heat, and in most cases, they can be removed and repositioned if required. How Many PSI Can a Compression Fitting Hold?One question I haven`t had definately answered is if I need to replace the anti roll bars. Are non ace fitted Discos fitted with heavier anti roll bars..would make sense but although should be easy to find out I haven`t yet.

No matter what your plumbing installation project involves, our large selection of brass compression fittings will have you covered, from elbows and nuts to tank and tap connectors.

Compression fittings should be tight enough to create a watertight seal but not so tight that the pipe warps or the thread is damaged as this could encourage leaks and make the fittings much harder to remove later. Proceed with caution. What Should I Do if I Find a Compression Fitting Leaking? 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. Slide the compression fitting olive (brass ring) over the first length of pipe, and then lay the nut over that
