Q

What is a MS fitting flareless

A

Ball bush principle
The sleeve or O-ring of malleable steel is shaped by pre-stressing in such a way that its inner cutting edge is pushed over the pipe to seal it. At the same time the lip of the seal is pushed into the cone of the fitting and forms a seal line. During this the tube must, in principle, be on the stop support.
Don’t over tighten
