PEX compression fittings are designed to connect PEX pipe, which is flexible, durable, and corrosion-resistant. These fittings feature a compression nut and a compression ring (commonly called a ferrule) that creates a watertight seal when compressed onto the PEX pipe. This compression mechanism eliminates the need for welding or gluing, making PEX compression fittings a popular choice among professionals.
