Re: how-to for compression fittings?

Put the nut on the line, then the ferrul (ball), insert the line into
the fitting, and then gently tighten the nut down. Do NOT use a lot
of pressure...just slightly more than hand tight on the nut otherwise
you'll crimp the line and won't get an accurate signal.
