Cutting ring fitting

A cutting ring fitting is like a puzzle piece that helps connect two pipes together without leaking any fluid. Imagine you have two straws, one big and one small, and you want to connect them together without any liquid spilling out. To do that, you need a rubber ring that can fit around the smaller straw, but also has a metal ring that can clip onto the larger straw.

Now, if the two straws are really big pipes, you can't just use a rubber band. That's where the cutting ring fitting comes in. It's made of two parts: the first is a metal ring with a slightly tapered edge, and the second part is also a metal ring, but with a grooved edge. So when you put the two pipes together, you insert the tapered edge into the smaller pipe and the grooved edge over the larger pipe.

Then, you use a special tool to push the tapered ring down until it cuts into the pipe a little bit. This forms a seal that locks the two pipes together without any leaks. The cutting ring fitting is a simple, efficient and secure way of joining pipes together.
