If your reusing an old pipe and olive putting a connection back together some plumbers grease might be helpfull but if your using new pipe and new olive then no grease is needed. It just needs tightening up right. Not too tight as that can cause a leak as well as it being too loose can. With tightening go a bit by bit and check for leaks. You can always tighten more if needed but if u over tighten and it leaks u cant go back. Ptfe tape isnt needed on the threads either as the thread isnt where the watertight seal is formed. Its the olive being compressed by the nut being tightened that does. Hope this helps someone 😁

For coiled copper pipe, valve could leak, so make sure it's round shaped before.you could use a crescent wrench, or a copper sizing tool, sold in plumbing, or hvac stores.

I like those compression fittings, I keep a couple of them around for emergencies. Like you said, they are good in areas that you can't use a torch or where the water can't be shut off fully to be able to solder. Unlike Sharkbite fittings that have a O-ring, these use a brass ferrule compression ring. I do the same and use pipe dope or plumber's grease on the ferrule.

Thanks for sharing, this video saved me at 11pm replacing double shut-off refrigerator filter valve leaking from the valve stem. Replaced valve and the pipe dope technique worked.

My plumber showed me this pipe dope trick with compression and I said why didn’t I think of that?? Also he had a nice tool for removing old compression ferrules, which I went bought one as well. Great video Brother

Another great video...thank you so much for these useful tips. But no matter how hard I try to use these correctly, water sometimes seeps out the back end of the nut (installed on a hot water heater line, in this case). I know that I most likely overtightened the nut, but being a rookie, that's all I knew how to time, the water did stop seeping out on its time I need to replace the water heater (they seem to only last about 6 or 7 years around here), I plan on using Shark Bite connections to see how they work. Again, thank you so much for helping all of us out!
