    Compression Fitting Assistance
    Tom,

    Exactly how does the hose from the washing machine fit in to the compression fitting? I bought a compression fitting today but when I put the hose from the washing machine in to it, it's not tight. The supply house gave me 3 different rubber washers but none are tight. Am I doing something worng or do I need a tighter washer.

    Hi Scott,
    You need a gasket that fits snug on the hose. The nut will then compress the gasket over the hose as it's tightened. Good luck, Tom
