Brass Compression Fitting M12x1 to 10mm Copper Pipe: Essential Adapter Connector

The Superior Connection for Fluid Lines

This high-quality brass compression fitting is the perfect adapter for achieving a secure, leak-proof connection between a component featuring an M12x1 male thread and a 10 mm copper pipe. Engineered for resilience and reliability, this reducing connector is extensively used across plumbing, heating, and hydraulic systems, as well as in specific automotive or gas installations. Its construction from durable brass guarantees exceptional longevity and resistance to corrosion. 

Product Specifications and Included Components

This complete compression assembly, crucial for any pipe installation, includes the three essential components:

• Body (Adapter): Features an M12x1 male thread (connection side) to an M14x1 female thread (compression side).

• Compression Nut: An M14x1 female nut used to compress the olive, ensuring a powerful seal.

• Olive (Compression Ring/Ferrule): Sized for 10 mm copper tubing, this component is compressed between the nut and the body to create the crucial watertight and gas-tight seal.

Key Advantages of the M12x1 Compression Fitting

Choosing this copper pipe compression fitting provides several operational benefits:

• No Soldering Required: Enables a quick and heat-free installation, which is especially useful in confined spaces or when dealing with existing systems.

• Reliable Seal: The compression mechanism creates an instant, high-pressure seal, making it a dependable alternative to flaring or soldering.

• High-Quality Material: Constructed from solid brass, the fitting offers superior corrosion resistance and durability against various operating conditions and fluids.

• Ease of Use: Simple to assemble with only basic hand tools, making it accessible for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

• Reusable Connection: The fitting can be disassembled and reassembled, facilitating maintenance or future modifications.

Installation Guidelines for a Perfect Seal

To ensure a safe and leak-free installation of your M12x1 brass connector:

• Use a tube cutter to cut the copper pipe squarely and clean off any burrs inside and out.

• Slide the compression nut, followed by the olive (ferrule), onto the 10 mm copper tube.

• Insert the tube fully into the fitting body until it bottoms out.

• Hand-tighten the nut, then use a wrench to turn it approximately one full turn to achieve compression. Avoid over-tightening, as this can deform the olive or the pipe.
