Would anyone have experience in using these please?
I have a length of 8mm copper pipe which needs to go into an 8mm brass conector, sealed by a brass cutting ring. I am advised to use a cutting ring as opposed to an olive as there will be a bit of pressure in the line. The cutting ring is quite sloppy on the pipe before tightening with 0.3mm between the pipe diameter and the the cutting ring hole. Will this take up once it's cranked up tight onto the connector? I don't recall olives being so loose.
