SuiteSuccess Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 I apologize in advance for the probable dumb question but are the compression sleeves (ferrules) specific to the brand of DOT fitting? I have both Parker and Eaton-Weatherhead compression fittings and I need to replace some tubing. 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

phoenix2013 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I did not investigate it thoroughly, but some are tapered on both ends and some are not. Also the "crush" inserts are different. So I would be careful "mixing and matching". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteSuccess Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Thanks Phoenix. After looking all afternoon found this link which was very informative so thought I'd post it. Answers the question. Funny how so many little questions can have complicated answers. I've used compression fittings on copper tubing all my life and didn't really consider it might require a different sleeve than nylon. http://www.industrialbolt.com/downloads/FittingsBrass.pdf 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.
