The Safelok® compression fittings feature â Slide and Tighten ⢠â technology, which allows installers to simply slide the pipe into the fitting and then tighten the nut, negating any need for pipe preparation, forcing the pipe past an o-ring or fiddling with loose components.
The Safelok® compression fitting with its Slide and Tighten ⢠technology differs from other compression fittings in the market place, because the tightening of the nut compresses the seal in the fitting. In practical terms, this means that as the nut is backed off, the seal is released well before the fitting releases its grip on the pipe. Once the seal is released, if the line is still energised, a loud sound will be heard, offering a warning to the installer to re-assemble and switch off and bleed the line. This is a primary feature of the Safelok® range.
