Copper Compression Joint Specifications. 1. Compression joint is hereby defined to be a joint whereby plain end copper tubing is connected to a fitting and locked into place by compressive forces created when a nut threaded onto the body of the fitting is tightened. A compression joint shall require no preparation of the end of the tubing other than simple cleaning. 2. A compression joint shall consist of: a. a receptacle in the fitting body for the end of the copper tubing, the outside of which receptacle shall be threaded to accept the coupling nut; and b. a gasket which shall provide the hydraulic seal for the joint and transmit the compressive forces to the gripper band; and c. a gripper band which shall produce circumferential indentations in the tubing, thereby restraining the tubing and preventing joint separation; and
