Olives - Copper or Brass

Feb 11, 2004 2 Replies

Hi all



Olive material - copper or brass: Which is best and why? Is one more suitable in a given location/application than another?



Thanks



Phil


I like copper. It's softer, so deforms more easily and makes a better seal. I don't know why they make brass ones.

I thought that they were for where the joint was susceptable to mechanical movement
