Hi ya guys, im trying to improve my way of tightening compression fittings to copper and plastic pipes (using inserts or liners in the case of plastic). I usually in the case of copper push on nut and olive over tubing, add uni-white squeese by hand and then tighten with spanners for about 4 turns. I then open off the nut and olive to make sure it is clinched onto pipe and in proper position. I then re-tighten by hand and again use spanner and give a further 2 turns with spanners. Am I being too particular or have a touch of OCD.
