This compression sleeve forms the sealing ring for a 5/16-inch tubing compression joint, restoring a watertight connection when used with a matching compression nut and fitting. Ideal for stopping leaks and restoring reliable water lines. What it does:
- Creates the compression seal on 5/16" tubing when installed with a compatible compression nut and fitting.
- Stops leaks or drips at compression-style water connections.
- Used on appliance water lines (ice makers, water inlets) and other 5/16" tubing joints.
- Replaces worn or damaged sleeves that fail to hold a tight seal.
What's included: One compression sleeve for 5/16 in. tubing. Install notes:
- Shut off the water supply and relieve pressure before working on water lines.
- Inspect and cut tubing squarely; slide the sleeve onto the tube before threading the compression nut and fitting.
- Tighten the compression nut per the fitting manufacturer's instructions and check the joint for leaks.
- Replace the sleeve if damaged or deformed.

Ordered the parts from Appliancepartspros with the help of Kimberly. She researched the parts I needed from my description. All the parts we ordered were pictured on the email confirmation they sent. The order came sooner than promised and was correct and complete. From there it was just a matter of reassembling. Everything fit perfectly. Job finished in two hours. Nice to have six burners working again.
By the way, another thank you to Kimberly
