Common Questions

What makes RidgeLock™ different from compression fittings?

While RidgeLock™ connections utilize standard EN1254 fitting bodies for convenience, they create a fundamentally different type of connection. Our engineered sealing ring mechanically interlocks with Ridgeline™ tube’s corrugations, unlike traditional compression fittings that rely purely on compression force.

Can I connect Ridgeline™ to my existing copper system?

Yes! The Ridgeline™ system is designed for seamless integration with copper installations. Use any standard EN1254 fitting with the original olive on the copper end and our RidgeLock™ sealing ring on the Ridgeline™ end. This makes transitions between materials simple and reliable.

Are RidgeLock™ connections suitable for concealed spaces?

Yes. RidgeLock™’s mechanical interlock actually maintains its integrity under movement, making it ideal for concealed installations. For maximum peace of mind in concealed spaces, consider our RidgeLock™ P1 permanent connections, which provide a tamper-proof solution.
