Featuring its patented multi-point seal, the XR2 fitting’s sealing surface does not sit on the cut end of the tubing, so even the most unsightly cut will yield a tight seal. The XR2 fitting is also reduced in size and requires minimal torque, making the installation of larger sizes considerably easier. With no o-rings or gaskets, the reusable brass components provide a reliable metal-to-metal installation.
